Ingredients

2 3/4 cups 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 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

Instructions

Step 1: Line a 13×9 glass baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2: In a large saucepan, combine granulated sugar, butter, kosher salt, 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar mix, and 1 cup heavy cream. Heat over medium heat until fully combined.
Step 3: Bring the mixture to a rolling boil and stir continuously for 4 minutes to ensure it doesn’t burn.
Step 4: Remove the saucepan from heat. Quickly add the white chocolate morsels, marshmallow cream, and 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar mix. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Using an electric mixer can help achieve a smoother texture more quickly.
Step 5: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Refrigerate for about 3 hours, or until fully hardened.
Step 6: Once firm, lift the fudge from the pan by the parchment paper and transfer it to a cutting board. Cut into circles with a 1 1/2-inch cookie cutter or into small bite-sized pieces.
Step 7: To prepare the drizzle, whisk together powdered sugar, maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons heavy cream until smooth.
Step 8: Pour the drizzle into a small plastic bag, snip off a tiny corner, and drizzle over the cut fudge pieces. Immediately sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar mix.
Step 9: Return the fudge to the refrigerator to allow the drizzle to harden, about 15 minutes, before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use an electric mixer when whisking the fudge mixture to achieve a perfectly smooth texture more easily.
For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the cinnamon sugar slightly, but be careful not to overpower the sweetness.
Swap maple syrup with honey or agave syrup for a different twist on the drizzle flavor.
If you want bite-sized pieces without special cutters, simply cut the fudge into small squares.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. This fudge does not freeze well as the texture may change.

How to Serve

Each fudge piece has thin, diagonal white icing stripes drizzled on top in a smooth, flowing pattern.

FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of cinnamon sugar?

You can, but the cinnamon sugar adds essential flavor to replicate the cinnamon roll experience. If using regular sugar, consider adding ground cinnamon to taste.

Is it necessary to use marshmallow cream?

Yes, marshmallow cream adds sweetness and creaminess that help give the fudge its smooth, chewy texture. Substituting may affect the final consistency.
