How to Make Coffee Fudge Or Vanilla Or Whatever You Want

  1. Attach a sugar thermometer to a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Pour in 1 cup (240ml) of milk and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it just begins to simmer.
  2. Add 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar and 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter.
  3. Continue to stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely and the butter melts.
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Cover and boil for exactly 2 minutes.
  5. Uncover the saucepan and continue to boil steadily, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (116°C/240°F). To test, drop a small amount of the mixture into a glass of ice water. It should form a soft ball when you roll it between your fingers.
  6. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  7. Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of your choice of extract (coffee, vanilla, peppermint, etc.). Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
  8. Beat the fudge vigorously with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until it begins to lose its gloss and thickens considerably.
  9. Grease a 7x7 inch square baking tin. Pour the fudge into the prepared tin.
  10. Lightly score the fudge into 25 squares using a knife while it's still slightly soft.
  11. Allow the fudge to cool completely and set at room temperature. Once firm, cut along the scored lines to create individual squares.
  12. Store your delicious fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
