Line a small baking sheet or 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil, making sure the foil hangs over the edges so you can lift the fudge out later. Gently smooth the foil into the corners; don’t worry if it’s a little wrinkly—that homemade look is part of the charm and matches that casual, overhead iPhone shot.
Set up your slow cooker as a makeshift double burner by placing two heat-safe glass or metal bowls inside (if they fit side by side) or plan to work in two stages if your slow cooker is smaller. You’ll be making the creamy base layer and the whipped coffee layer separately so you get those distinct, pretty layers.

Make the sweet cream base: Add 2 cups of the white chocolate chips and about 3/4 of the can of sweetened condensed milk to one of the bowls in the slow cooker. Reserve the remaining 1 cup of white chocolate chips and the rest of the condensed milk for the coffee layer. Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
Turn the slow cooker to LOW and let the base mixture warm for 30–45 minutes, stirring every 10–15 minutes with a heat-safe spatula. You’re looking for the white chocolate to melt completely into a smooth, thick, glossy mixture. If the edges look like they’re cooking faster, just stir them back into the center.

Once the sweet cream mixture is smooth, carefully lift the bowl out of the slow cooker using oven mitts. Immediately pour the mixture into the foil-lined pan and spread it into an even layer with your spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter a few times to help it settle and release any air bubbles.
Set the pan aside at room temperature while you make the coffee layer; the base will start to firm up as it cools, which helps keep the layers separate.
Rinse or wipe out the bowl you used (if you’re reusing it), then add the remaining 1 cup of white chocolate chips and the remaining sweetened condensed milk. Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons of instant espresso powder or instant coffee granules. This concentrated coffee is what gives the top layer that rich caramel color and bold flavor.
