Caramel Coffee Fudge Delight (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Fudge Base

01 - 2 cups white chocolate chips
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 - 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
04 - 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1/4 cup caramel sauce
07 - Pinch of sea salt

# Instructions:

01 - Combine white chocolate chips and butter in a small saucepan. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and fully combined.
02 - Add sweetened condensed milk and instant espresso powder to the melted mixture. Stir until the espresso is dissolved and the mixture becomes creamy.
03 - Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt until well incorporated.
04 - Transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan. Drizzle caramel sauce evenly over the top and use a toothpick or knife to swirl the caramel through the surface.
05 - Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 to 4 hours until the fudge is firm and fully set.
06 - Once set, remove the fudge from the pan, slice into squares, and serve.

# Notes:

01 - Use high-quality white chocolate for optimal texture and flavor.
02 - Do not skip the sea salt; it elevates both the caramel and coffee notes.
03 - For intensified coffee flavor, add an extra teaspoon of espresso powder.
04 - Allow the fudge to cool and set thoroughly before slicing to maintain structure.
05 - Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
