Fudge Base
- 2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar mix (for fudge)
- 3 cups white chocolate morsels
- 7 oz jar marshmallow cream
Cinnamon Drizzle
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar mix (for topping)
- Prepare the pan: Line a 13×9 glass baking dish with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the fudge once set. Set aside while you prepare the fudge mixture.
- Heat the base ingredients: In a large saucepan, combine granulated sugar, unsalted butter, pinch of kosher salt, 1/4 cup of cinnamon sugar mix, and 1 cup of heavy cream. Heat over medium, stirring continuously until the mixture is combined and smooth. Bring to a rolling boil and continue to stir for 4 minutes to properly cook the sugar.
- Add white chocolate and marshmallow cream: Remove the saucepan from heat. Quickly stir in the white chocolate morsels, marshmallow cream, and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar mix. Whisk vigorously, preferably with an electric mixer, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. This may take a couple of minutes to fully incorporate.
- Set the fudge: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until the fudge has fully hardened.
- Cut the fudge: Once set, remove the fudge from the pan by lifting out the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and cut into 1 1/2 inch circles using a cookie cutter, or simply cut into bite-sized squares according to preference.
- Prepare the drizzle: Whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar mix until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a zip-top bag and snip a tiny corner for easy drizzle application.
- Decorate and finalize: Drizzle the cinnamon icing over the cut fudge pieces. Immediately sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mix for an extra touch of flavor and texture. Return the fudge to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the drizzle to harden before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use an electric mixer to achieve a smooth fudge texture after adding the white chocolate and marshmallow cream.
- You can prepare the cinnamon sugar mix by combining ground cinnamon with granulated sugar if not store-bought.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Use a glass or parchment-lined metal dish to prevent sticking and facilitate easier fudge removal.
- Cutting the fudge into circles is optional; squares or bite-sized pieces work equally well.
