Introduction

Cinnamon Roll Fudge offers a delightful twist on classic comfort food by combining the rich flavors of cinnamon rolls with smooth, creamy fudge. This indulgent treat is perfect for cozy gatherings or whenever you need a sweet pick-me-up.

The image shows several square pieces of a dessert that looks like cinnamon rolls with a creamy, white icing layer covering them. Each piece has two visible layers: a thick, smooth off-white icing layer on the outside and a darker brown cinnamon swirl layer inside, forming spiral patterns on the top surface. The edges of the dessert pieces show small speckles of cinnamon powder. The squares are arranged closely together on a white marbled surface dusted with powdered sugar, with two squares stacked on top of each other in the center.

Ingredients

2.75 cups granulated sugar
0.75 cups unsalted butter
0.25 cups cinnamon sugar mix (plus 2 tablespoons for mixing in)
1 pinch kosher salt
1 cup heavy cream (divided)
3 cups 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 sprinkling on top)

Instructions

Step 1: Line a 13×9-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2: In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine granulated sugar, butter, pinch of salt, ¼ cup cinnamon sugar, and ¾ cup heavy cream. Stir continuously until the mixture is fully combined and reaches a rolling boil, approximately 4 minutes.
Step 3: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the white chocolate morsels, marshmallow cream, and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the fudge is completely firm.
Step 5: Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang and transfer it to a cutting board. Cut into circles using a 1 ½ inch cookie cutter or slice into small bite-sized pieces as preferred.
Step 6: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of heavy cream until smooth. Transfer this glaze to a ziplock bag and snip a small corner off for drizzling.
Step 7: Drizzle the glaze over the fudge pieces and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar for a finishing touch.
Step 8: Return the fudge to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the icing to harden before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a richer cinnamon flavor, toast your cinnamon sugar mix lightly before adding it to the fudge.
Try swapping white chocolate morsels for milk chocolate or cream cheese for a different twist.
Use decorative cookie cutters in fun shapes to make the fudge extra festive.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for a softer texture. You can also freeze the fudge for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

How to Serve

The image shows close-up of several small square cinnamon roll fudge pieces stacked on a white marbled surface dusted with powdered sugar. Each piece has two main layers: a creamy off-white fudge base and a darker brown cinnamon swirl that spirals on the top and marbled through the middle. The fudge texture looks smooth and soft, while the cinnamon swirls are fine and evenly spread. The squares have clean, sharp edges, and the lighting highlights the glossy, slightly shiny surface of the fudge. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this fudge without marshmallow cream?

Marshmallow cream helps give the fudge its smooth and creamy texture, but you can substitute it with an equal amount of sweetened condensed milk for a slightly different consistency.

Why is my fudge grainy after cooling?

Graininess often results from stirring the sugar mixture too slowly or cooling too quickly. Make sure to stir continuously until fully melted and avoid disturbing the fudge while it sets in the fridge.
