How to Make Chocolate Espresso Fudge

  1. Toast 1 cup of pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk constantly over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup strong brewed espresso (cooled), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Add 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until completely melted and smooth. If needed, use a double boiler for a gentler melt.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of the toasted pecans.
  6. Pour the fudge mixture into an 8x8 inch greased baking dish.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  8. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
