Ingredients
  

2 cups granulated sugar

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes

1/2 cup light corn syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup powdered sugar, for dusting

1/4 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon instant coffee granules (optional, enhances chocolate flavor)

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Use an 8x8 inch square baking dish. Line it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the edges for easy removal later. Lightly grease the parchment with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Create the Fudge Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, heavy cream, cubed unsalted butter, corn syrup, and a pinch of salt. Set the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly until it begins to boil vigorously.

      Cook the Mixture: Allow the bubbling mixture to boil without stirring for about 5-6 minutes. Use a candy thermometer to check for the soft-ball stage, which is around 235°F (118°C). Once it reaches that temperature, promptly remove the saucepan from the heat.

        Incorporate Vanilla: Stir in the pure vanilla extract immediately. Let the mixture sit for about a minute so that it cools slightly and settle.

          Beat the Fudge: With either a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the slightly cooled fudge mixture on medium speed for approximately 5-7 minutes. The fudge should thicken and take on a creamy consistency, beginning to lose its glossy sheen.

            Transfer the Fudge: Quickly pour this thickened fudge into your prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly. Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature.

              Make the Chocolate Ganache: In a separate small saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat. Once the milk is heated but not boiling, remove it from the burner. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and optional instant coffee granules. Stir the mixture until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is silky smooth.

                Spread the Ganache: Once the fudge has cooled and firmed up, pour the warm chocolate ganache over the fudge. Smooth the ganache evenly across the surface with a spatula.

                  Chill to Set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to allow the ganache to set properly.

                    Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut the fudge into squares and dust with powdered sugar for a delightful finish before serving.
