👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Dissolve the instant coffee or espresso powder in hot water, stirring until smooth with no lumps. Set aside.
- 2 Prepare an 18x18 cm (7x7 inch) square baking pan, lining it with baking paper so it covers the sides for easy removal later.
- 3 Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces so it melts quickly when heated.
- 4 Over low heat, warm the sweetened condensed milk and butter in a saucepan, stirring constantly until the butter melts and everything is well combined.
- 5 Add the chopped dark chocolate, stirring constantly over low heat until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture becomes thick and glossy.
- 6 Turn off the heat, then add the coffee mixture, salt, and vanilla powder. Stir quickly until fully combined with no coffee streaks left.
- 7 Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- 8 Sprinkle the chopped almonds on top, pressing lightly so they stick.
- 9 Let it cool at room temperature for a bit, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until completely firm and set.
- 10 Lift it out of the pan using the baking paper, then cut into squares as desired using a knife warmed with hot water for clean, neat cuts.
💡 Tips
• Use dark chocolate with at least 55% cocoa content so the bitterness balances nicely with the sweetness of the condensed milk.
• Keep stirring the mixture constantly while heating so the chocolate doesn't burn or turn grainy at the bottom of the pot.
• If you like a stronger coffee flavor, add another 1/2 tbsp of coffee, but reduce the hot water slightly so the texture doesn't get too runny.
• Store the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge; it will keep for up to 2 weeks.
