Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base:
- 2 ¾ cups (550g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 3 cups (525g) white chocolate chips
- 1 jar (7 ounces/198g) marshmallow cream
Sweetening and Flavoring:
- ¼ cup (50g) cinnamon sugar mix
- Pinch of kosher salt
Cinnamon Swirl and Topping:
- 1 cup (170g) cinnamon baking chips
Maple Drizzle (Optional):
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar mix
Instructions
- Craft the aromatic cinnamon swirl by blending brown sugar with cinnamon, then incorporate melted butter until achieving a silky, spreadable texture. Reserve this fragrant mixture for later use.
- Create the fudge foundation by combining white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe vessel. Heat in brief intervals, stirring consistently until the mixture transforms into a luxurious, glossy consistency. Enhance the base with vanilla extract and ground cinnamon, stirring thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly.
- Prepare the baking vessel by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring edges slightly extend for effortless removal. Distribute the initial layer of fudge mixture, spreading it uniformly across the surface. Artfully cascade the reserved cinnamon swirl mixture over the fudge, using a toothpick to generate elegant, marbled patterns. Gently pour the remaining fudge layer, smoothing the surface to create a pristine finish.
- Allow the fudge to solidify by refrigerating for approximately two hours or until it reaches a firm, sliceable consistency. Once set, carefully extract the fudge using the parchment paper overhang and precisely slice into bite-sized squares.
- Elevate the presentation by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract into a silky icing. Delicately drizzle this sweet glaze over the cut fudge pieces, mimicking the classic cinnamon roll aesthetic.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of powdered sugar in the icing for a more or less intense flavor profile.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips like milk or dark chocolate to create unique variations of the fudge.
- Prevent sticking by using a non-stick baking spray on the parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner cuts.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify over time.
