Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 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
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar mix (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a 13×9 inch glass baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang on the sides to enable easy removal of the fudge later.
- Cook Sugar Mixture: In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine granulated sugar, unsalted butter, kosher salt, 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar mix, and 1/2 cup of the heavy cream. Stir continuously until well combined and the mixture reaches a rolling boil, approximately 4 minutes.
- Add Chocolate and Marshmallow: Remove the saucepan from heat immediately. Quickly stir in the white chocolate morsels, marshmallow cream, and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar mix. Whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until the fudge is completely set and hardened.
- Cut the Fudge: Once hardened, lift the fudge from the baking dish using the parchment overhang. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into circles using a 1 ½ inch cookie cutter or slice into small bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar mix until the glaze is smooth and pourable. Transfer the glaze to a ziplock bag and snip a small corner for drizzling.
- Glaze the Fudge: Drizzle the glaze artfully over the cut fudge pieces. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar for extra flavor and visual appeal.
- Chill Before Serving: Return the glazed fudge pieces to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the icing to harden before serving.
Notes
- Use a glass baking dish to ensure even cooling and easy removal.
- Make sure to stir continuously when heating the sugar mixture to prevent burning.
- For clean cuts, chill the fudge thoroughly before slicing.
- The cinnamon sugar mix adds a warm spice note but can be adjusted to taste.
- Store leftover fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
