Make-Ahead & Storage Tips
Fridge: Store in an airtight container, layered with parchment paper, for up to 2 weeks. It keeps beautifully and is delicious eaten straight from the fridge.
Counter: It can sit at room temperature for a few hours during a gathering, but because of the dairy content, it's best kept chilled for long-term storage.
Freezer: This fudge freezes incredibly well! Wrap the whole block (or individual pieces) tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use white chocolate instead?
A: Yes! If you want a fudge that looks exactly like a frothy latte, use 3 cups of white chocolate chips. The espresso powder will tint it a beautiful light caramel color, and the flavor will be sweeter and creamier, like a vanilla coffee latte.
Q: My fudge seized up and got crumbly while whipping. What happened?
A: This happens if even a single drop of water gets into the mixture, or if it was whipped for too long while it was cooling. Make sure your mixer beaters are completely dry, and only whip it for 2-3 minutes just until it lightens in color and thickens.
