Description
This easy homemade cinnamon roll fudge combines the cozy flavors of cinnamon and vanilla in a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth treat. No baking or yeast required—just quick stovetop prep and a decadent cinnamon swirl for bakery-quality winter dessert squares.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Extra cinnamon-sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting. Lightly grease if desired.
- In a small bowl, mix together ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and melted butter until a thick paste forms. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter. Stir constantly until melted and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt until glossy and thick.
- Pour half of the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula.
- Spoon half of the cinnamon swirl over the fudge layer. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl it into the fudge.
- Pour the remaining fudge mixture on top, then repeat with the rest of the cinnamon swirl. Swirl again for a marbled effect.
- Sprinkle nuts and/or extra cinnamon-sugar on top, if using.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until set. For faster setting, freeze for 45 minutes.
- Lift fudge out using parchment, slice into 16 squares, and serve.
Notes
For dairy-free, use coconut condensed milk and vegan butter. For gluten-free, double-check chocolate chips and condensed milk labels. Swirl gently for a marbled look and chill fully before slicing. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean edges. Fudge keeps up to 2 weeks in the fridge or 2 months in the freezer.
