Ingredients

2 3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons cinnamon sugar mix
Pinch of kosher salt
1 cup heavy cream
3 cup white chocolate morsels
7 oz jar marshmallow cream
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
2 Tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar mix (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Line a 13×9 inch glass baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2: In a large saucepan, combine granulated sugar, unsalted butter, kosher salt, 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar mix, and 1 cup heavy cream. Heat over medium, stirring continuously until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
Step 3: Boil the mixture while stirring constantly for 4 minutes to ensure it reaches the right consistency.
Step 4: Remove the pan from heat. Quickly stir in white chocolate morsels, marshmallow cream, and 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar mix. Whisk vigorously until smooth. This may take a few minutes and works best with an electric mixer.
Step 5: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and refrigerate for 3 hours until fully set and hardened.
Step 6: Once firm, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper. Cut into circles using a 1 1/2 inch round cookie cutter or into bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.
Step 7: To make the drizzle, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons heavy cream until smooth. Transfer the glaze to a zip-top bag, snip a small corner, and drizzle over the cut fudge pieces.
Step 8: Immediately sprinkle the drizzle with the remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar mix. Return the fudge to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to let the icing harden.

Tips & Variations

For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the cinnamon sugar mix slightly in the fudge and drizzle.
If you prefer a nutty twist, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the fudge before it sets.
Use cream cheese in place of marshmallow cream for a tangier version of this fudge.
To make cinnamon sugar mix at home, combine ground cinnamon and granulated sugar to your desired ratio.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. To soften before serving, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes. This fudge does not freeze well due to the marshmallow cream.

How to Serve

A close-up shows several square fudge pieces, each about one layer thick with a light beige color and a smooth texture with small specks throughout. A woman's hand is piping a thin layer of creamy white frosting in diagonal lines on top of each fudge square, creating neat stripes. The fudge pieces are placed on a white marbled textured surface, spaced evenly in rows. The lighting is soft, highlighting the creamy texture and detailed frosting on each piece.

FAQs

Can I use milk chocolate instead of white chocolate?

Yes, you can substitute milk chocolate morsels for white chocolate, but this will change the flavor and color of the fudge. The cinnamon roll flavor pairs well with white chocolate’s creamy sweetness.

Is it necessary to boil the sugar mixture for exactly 4 minutes?

Boiling for 4 minutes while stirring ensures the fudge reaches the right temperature and consistency for setting properly. Shorter times may result in softer fudge, while longer boiling can make it too firm or grainy.
