Ingredients

• 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
• 3 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 2 tsp Instant coffee granules
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and butter over low heat.

Step 3

Stir continuously with a spatula until the chocolate chips and butter have melted, and the mixture is smooth and glossy, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the instant coffee granules, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt to the melted mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Let the fudge cool to room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Step 7

Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and cut into 16 squares.

Step 8

If desired, dust the tops of the fudge pieces lightly with powdered sugar for garnish before serving.

Step 9

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving for best flavor.
