Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar mix (ground cinnamon mixed with granulated sugar)
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups white chocolate morsels
- 7 oz jar marshmallow cream
Drizzle Icing
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar mix
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Dish: Line a 13×9 inch glass baking dish thoroughly with parchment paper. This will ensure the fudge can be easily lifted out once it has set. Set aside while preparing the fudge mixture.
- Cook Sugar Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine granulated sugar, unsalted butter, a pinch of kosher salt, 1/4 cup of the cinnamon sugar mix, and 1 cup of heavy cream. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until all ingredients are combined. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil and maintain it while stirring for 4 minutes to achieve the right consistency and temperature for fudge.
- Add White Chocolate and Marshmallow: Remove the saucepan from heat. Quickly add the white chocolate morsels, marshmallow cream, and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar mix to the hot mixture. Whisk vigorously, preferably using an electric mixer, until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined. This process may take a few minutes, so patience is important to achieve a creamy fudge texture.
- Set the Fudge: Immediately pour the smooth fudge mixture into the prepared parchment-lined baking dish. Spread evenly and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until the fudge is fully hardened and firm to the touch.
- Cut Fudge Pieces: Once set, remove the fudge from the refrigerator. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and cut into circles using a 1 1/2 inch circle cookie cutter or into small bite-sized pieces for easy serving.
- Make and Apply Drizzle: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and heavy cream until the icing is smooth and pourable. Transfer to a zip-top plastic bag and snip a tiny corner off to create a piping bag. Drizzle the icing evenly over the cut fudge pieces. Immediately sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar mix atop the icing for added texture and flavor.
- Set the Drizzle: Place the decorated fudge pieces back into the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the drizzle icing to harden before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use an electric mixer to whisk the fudge mixture after removing from heat to ensure smooth texture.
- Line the baking dish with parchment paper extending over the edges for easy removal.
- The cinnamon sugar mix can be made by combining equal parts ground cinnamon and granulated sugar.
- Cut fudge into desired shapes: circles provide an elegant look, but squares or bite-sized pieces work perfectly for casual settings.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Allow fudge to come to room temperature slightly before eating to enhance flavor and texture.
