Measure the infused ingredient
Measure the plain butter and cannabutter separately. See the cannabutter guide and the THC potency calculator for your own infusion.
Dose deliberately: potency depends entirely on the strength and amount of your infusion. Calculate the full batch, divide evenly and label infused food clearly. Effects from edibles can be delayed.
GATHER & MEASURE
Ingredients
Chocolate base
Off-heat additions and topping
Use sweetened condensed milk. Measure the plain butter for melting and the cannabutter for the off-heat finish separately.
FROM PREP TO FINISH
Make it, step by step
Line the pan and melt the chocolate
Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment.
Combine chocolate, condensed milk and plain butter in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water. Stir until mostly smooth.
Stir in the espresso and cannabutter off the heat
Remove from heat. Stir in cannabutter, espresso powder, vanilla and fine salt until glossy and uniform.
Spread in the pan and chill
Spread into the pan and top with a small amount of flaky salt or cacao nibs if desired.
Refrigerate about 2 hours, until firm.
Cut small, even squares
Lift out and cut into 25 small squares. Keep chilled for the cleanest texture.
Questions about Espresso Canna Fudge
Does espresso fudge contain much caffeine?
It contains some caffeine from espresso powder and chocolate; omit espresso if that is a concern.
Can I freeze fudge?
Yes. Freeze tightly wrapped pieces for up to two months and thaw in the refrigerator.
Can I use milk chocolate?
Yes, though the fudge will be sweeter and softer; reduce optional toppings that add sweetness.
