How to Make Serious Coffee Fudge
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Continue boiling, without stirring, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235°F on a candy thermometer).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Add 1 teaspoon almond extract and beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until the fudge begins to thicken and lose its gloss (approximately 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Pour the fudge onto a buttered or parchment-lined 8x8 inch baking dish. Spread evenly.
- Let the fudge cool and harden completely at room temperature for at least 2-3 hours, or refrigerate for faster setting.
- Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy!
