Description

This Salted Caramel Mocha Fudge recipe combines rich semi-sweet chocolate fudge with a creamy salted caramel layer made from white chocolate and dulce de leche. Prepared entirely in the microwave in just minutes, this easy homemade fudge is perfect for holiday gatherings or gifting. The fudge is sprinkled with coarse sea salt for a delightful contrast of flavors and texture.

Ingredients

Mocha Layer:

  • 3 cups (18 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
  • 2 tsp. instant espresso powder
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Salted Caramel Layer:

  • 12 ounces (2 cups) good-quality white chocolate chips or white baking chocolate, chopped
  • 14-ounce can Dulce de Leche
  • ½ tsp. coarse sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking dish: Lightly spray a 13×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the fudge.
  2. Make the Mocha Layer: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Heat at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir until the bowl no longer feels warm. Continue heating at 50% power in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy. Stir in the instant espresso powder and vanilla extract. Heat for an additional 15 seconds at 50% power and stir until completely smooth. Immediately spoon the mocha fudge into the prepared pan and spread evenly using the back of a spoon or small spatula. Set aside.
  3. Make the Salted Caramel Layer: In another microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate and Dulce de Leche. Heat at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir until the mixture no longer feels warm. Continue heating in 15-second intervals at 50% power, stirring well after each, until smooth and creamy. Spoon dollops of this caramel fudge over the mocha layer in the pan, then carefully spread into an even layer across the top.
  4. Set the fudge: Let the fudge stand at room temperature for 4 hours to firm up.
  5. Finish and cut: Once set, sprinkle the fudge evenly with coarse sea salt. Carefully lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper, and cut into 1-inch pieces. To ensure clean cuts, wipe the knife with a towel after each slice.
  6. Storage: Store the fudge in the refrigerator where it will keep for about 1 week.

Notes

  • Dulce de Leche is typically found in the ethnic foods section of most grocery stores.
  • This recipe yields a large quantity of fudge (55-60 pieces), making it perfect for sharing at holiday gatherings or gifting. The recipe can be halved, but you will only need half of the cans of sweetened condensed milk and Dulce de Leche.
