Coffee and Fudge Semifreddo image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     dessert

Time 6h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons instant coffee (I use decaf)
1 teaspoon coffee extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup jarred hot fudge
2 tablespoons chopped chocolate-covered espresso beans

Steps:

  • Line a loaf pan (9-by-5-inch works best) with plastic wrap, letting the edges hang over and allowing enough extra plastic to wrap the semifreddo.
  • In a large bowl, combine the instant coffee, coffee extract, vanilla and 1 pint of the heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to whip until medium to firm peaks form. Use a spatula to gently fold in the condensed milk. Transfer half of the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and freeze until just beginning to set, about 20 minutes.
  • Microwave 1/2 cup of the hot fudge with the remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl for 20 to 25 seconds, just to loosen it slightly. Spoon it lengthwise down the center of the pan, from end to end.
  • Transfer the remaining cream mixture to the loaf pan on top of the fudge. Use a butter knife to make swirls going through the mixture. (This will move the fudge throughout the mixture.) Wrap with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 6 hours.
  • Before serving, let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile heat the remaining 1/4 cup fudge. Unwrap the plastic, invert onto a serving plate and remove the plastic entirely. Drizzle with the hot fudge and sprinkle with the chopped espresso beans. Slice and serve immediately.

COFFEE FUDGE RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Coffee fudge Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-15311

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 rounded tablespoons good instant coffee
700 grams granulated sugar
2 (170 gram) cans evaporated milk, aboput 300 milliliters
100 grams butter
2 teaspoons glucose syrup (we used Dr. Oetker Liquid Glucose)
19 centimeters square tin, lined with Bakewell paper

Steps:

  • Dissolve the coffee in 5 tablespoons boiling water and put in a deep, heavy pan with the sugar, milk, butter and glucose. Stir the mixture over a low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved; brush any sugar crystals down from the side of the pan with a brush dipped in boiled water. Bring to the boil and boil for about 10 minutes until the mixture reaches 115°C on a sugar thermometer (or until a teaspoon of the mixture dropped into cold water forms a soft ball). Take the pan off the heat, and beat the fudge with a wooden spoon until thick and it’s cooled to 100°C (about 2-3 minutes). Pour into the tin and spread evenly. Leave to set, and then cut into squares.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality coffee: The better the coffee you use, the better the fudge will taste. Look for a dark roast with a strong flavor.
  • Don't overcook the fudge: Fudge is done when it reaches a temperature of 234°F (112°C). If you overcook it, it will become grainy and crumbly.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help it to set properly and prevent it from being too soft.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in a cool, dry place: Fudge can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Coffee fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a rich and flavorful fudge that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give coffee fudge a try!
