- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional, for structure)
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter.
- Stir constantly until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, instant espresso powder, and salt until fully dissolved.
- If using, stir in the graham cracker crumbs until evenly distributed.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
- Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board.
- Cut the fudge into 16 squares.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, dissolve the espresso powder in 1 teaspoon of hot water before adding it to the melted chocolate mixture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best texture and flavor.
