Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Butter | 1/4 cup |
| Evaporated milk | 1 cup |
| Sugar | 3 1/2 cups |
| Instant coffee | 1 1/2 tbsp |
| Bittersweet chocolate | 10 oz |
| Raspberry chips | 2 cups |
| Marshmallow creme | 7 oz |
| Vanilla | 1 tsp |
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients needed for making the fudge.
-
Melt Butter: In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it is fully melted and begins to sizzle.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once the butter has melted, add in the evaporated milk, sugar, and instant coffee to the saucepan.
-
Bring to Boil: Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly to prevent the sugar from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pan. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature, and continue stirring until it reaches 235 degrees Fahrenheit (113 degrees Celsius).
-
Remove from Heat: Once the mixture has reached the desired temperature, remove the saucepan from the heat source and place it on a heat-resistant surface.
-
Add Chocolate and Raspberry Chips: Quickly add the bittersweet chocolate and raspberry chips to the hot mixture in the saucepan. Stir continuously until all the ingredients are fully melted and well combined, creating a smooth and creamy fudge base.
-
Incorporate Marshmallow Creme: Add the marshmallow creme to the saucepan, stirring until it is fully incorporated into the fudge mixture and has a uniform texture.
-
Stir in Vanilla: Finish by adding the vanilla extract to the fudge mixture, stirring gently to distribute the flavor evenly throughout.
-
Pour into Pan: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or dish, and pour the fudge mixture into it, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
-
Cool and Set: Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature until it is firm and set. This usually takes about 1-2 hours, depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.
-
Cut into Pieces: Once the fudge has cooled and set, use a sharp knife to cut it into bite-sized pieces. For neat and uniform pieces, wipe the knife with a clean, damp cloth between cuts.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the cut pieces of Holiday Berry Mocha Fudge on a serving platter or in decorative boxes to share with friends and family, or simply indulge in a piece of this irresistible treat whenever you crave a rich and creamy indulgence.
Storage Instructions: Store any leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life. Be sure to separate the layers of fudge with wax paper or parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.
