Description

This decadent Caramel Coffee Fudge combines smooth white chocolate with rich dulce de leche and a hint of coffee for an indulgent treat. Layers of creamy caramel and coffee-infused fudge are topped with a drizzle of dark chocolate, creating a perfect balance of sweet and bold flavors in every bite. Easy to prepare and ideal for sharing, this no-bake fudge is cooled in the refrigerator and cut into bite-sized squares.

Ingredients

Caramel Layer

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup canned Dulce de Leche
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow cream

Coffee Fudge Layer

  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee
  • 1 teaspoon hot water
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow cream

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate melting wafers

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with foil and set it aside for easy fudge removal later.
  2. Melt ingredients for caramel layer: In a saucepan over low to medium heat, melt 2 cups white chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons unsalted butter until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Add dulce de leche and marshmallow cream: Stir the 3/4 cup canned dulce de leche into the melted mixture until creamy, then add 1/2 cup marshmallow cream and stir again until smooth and creamy.
  4. Set caramel layer: Pour this caramel mixture into the prepared baking dish and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until it is slightly set.
  5. Prepare the coffee mixture: Dissolve 2 teaspoons instant coffee in 1 teaspoon hot water. Stir the dissolved coffee thoroughly into 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk and set aside.
  6. Melt ingredients for coffee layer: In a clean saucepan over low to medium heat, melt 2 cups white chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons unsalted butter until smooth.
  7. Add coffee condensed milk and marshmallow cream: Stir the coffee sweetened condensed milk mixture into the melted chocolate until creamy, then add 1/2 cup marshmallow cream and stir until smooth again.
  8. Assemble the fudge: Pour this coffee fudge mixture evenly over the set caramel layer. Place back in the refrigerator and chill until completely set, about 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Cut the fudge: Remove the fudge from the pan by lifting the foil. Use a hot knife to cut it into 36 squares and allow them to come to room temperature.
  10. Prepare the chocolate drizzle: Heat 1/4 cup dark chocolate melting wafers in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir until creamy. If needed, heat an additional 15 seconds and stir again.
  11. Decorate: Spoon the melted dark chocolate into a small Ziplock bag and cut one tip off to create a piping tip. Drizzle the chocolate over the fudge squares.
  12. Set and store: Allow the drizzle to set, then store the fudge in a sealed container at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use a hot knife to cut the fudge cleanly—dip the knife in hot water and wipe it dry before cutting.
  • You can substitute marshmallow cream with homemade marshmallow fluff if preferred.
  • Ensure chocolate melting wafers are fully melted and smooth before drizzling to avoid clumps.
  • Fudge can be stored at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerated for longer freshness.
  • Allow the fudge to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
