Coffee twice over, once in the base and again in the chunks, and that's what the name is shouting about. Coffee and chocolate have more in common than most pairings. Both are roasted seeds, both develop their flavor through the same browning reactions and both carry a bitterness that sugar is added to manage, so an espresso bean fudge chunk sits closer to a single flavor than a contrast. Cold works against coffee, though. Low temperature blunts the aromatics that make a fresh cup smell like one, which is why a coffee ice cream has to be built stronger than a coffee would be to land in the same place.
