Best 8 Espresso Fudgies Recipes

ESPRESSO FUDGIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat 1/4 cup butter and the cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa and the vanilla. Divide dough into 24 equal pieces. Press each piece in bottom and up side of small muffin cup, 1 3/4x1 inch, ungreased or lined with foil or paper baking cups.
• In medium bowl, mix all Espresso Fudge Filling ingredients. Spoon about 2 teaspoons filling into each cup.
• Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until almost no indentation remains when filling is touched lightly. Cool slightly; loosen from cups with tip of knife. Remove from pan to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix all Espresso Frosting ingredients until smooth and spreadable. Spread cooled fudgies with frosting. Top with espresso beans.

VEGAN FUDGE

Steps:

• Line a 18 x 18cm cake tin with baking parchment. Tip the sugar, oat or coconut cream, milk, margarine and glucose syrup into a large saucepan. Heat to dissolve the sugar and melt the margarine, stirring now and again.
• Once dissolved, put a sugar thermometer in the pan, making sure the end is completely covered by the syrup - if not, transfer the mixture to a smaller pan (with enough space for the syrup to bubble up). Increase the heat and bring the syrup to a steady boil. Keep bubbling, stirring occasionally to stop the sugar from catching, until the mixture reaches 116C - this is known as the soft ball stage.
• Remove the pan from the heat and leave to sit, undisturbed, for 5 mins, until the temperature drops to 110C. Stir in the vanilla and a good pinch of salt.
• Keep the sugar thermometer in the pan and begin beating the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon until the temperature cools to about 60C. By this time the fudge will be really thick and will have lost it glossy shine. Remove the thermometer and continue beating for a few mins more. This process is very important when making fudge, as it creates small sugar crystals, which give the fudge its lovely smooth and creamy texture.
• Before it sets completely, quickly pour the fudge into your prepared tin and smooth over the surface. Leave to cool at room temperature overnight - don't put the fudge in the fridge as it will become sticky and won't set properly. Cut into bite-sized pieces. Will keep, in a sealed container, for up to two months.
