Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Instant coffee granules | 2 tablespoons |
| Hot water | 2 tablespoons |
| Unsweetened cocoa powder | 1/4 cup |
| Sweetened condensed milk | 1 (14-ounce) can |
| Pure vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Fine salt | 1/8 teaspoon |
| Frozen whipped topping, thawed | 1 (8-ounce) tub |
| Chopped soft chocolate candies or chocolate-covered caramels (optional) | 1/2 cup |
| Extra cocoa powder or grated chocolate for garnish (optional) | To taste |
Step-by-Step Directions
- Prepare the coffee: Add the instant coffee granules and hot water to a small heatproof bowl. Stir until the coffee dissolves completely, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the chocolate mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk the cocoa powder to break up any lumps. Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add the coffee: Pour the cooled coffee into the chocolate mixture. Whisk thoroughly until everything is fully combined and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
- Fold in the whipped topping: Transfer the thawed whipped topping to a large mixing bowl. Gently fold in the coffee-chocolate mixture in three additions using a rubber spatula. Mix carefully to maintain a light, fluffy texture while leaving soft chocolate swirls.
- Add the chocolate pieces: If desired, gently fold in the chopped chocolate candies or chocolate-covered caramels until evenly scattered throughout the mixture.
- Refrigerate: Spoon the fluff into a large serving bowl or individual dessert glasses. Smooth the surface or create decorative swirls, then loosely cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until chilled and softly set.
- Garnish and serve: Just before serving, sprinkle the top with a little cocoa powder or grated chocolate. Serve cold and enjoy!
