Ingredients for the Homemade Cinnamon Roll Fudge

For a fudge that melts in your mouth with each cinnamon-sugar swirl, you only need a handful of accessible ingredients. Each one plays a key role in the flavor and texture of this sweet treat.

White chocolate chips bring the rich, creamy base that makes up the majority of the fudge. Use a good quality brand for the best melt and taste.

Sweetened condensed milk binds everything together and adds irresistible sweetness and smoothness.

Butter adds a touch of richness and depth to the fudge.

Cinnamon is essential to recreating the warm, cozy spice you expect from a classic cinnamon roll.

Vanilla extract rounds out the flavors with soft, bakery-style notes.

Powdered sugar is used in the glaze to mimic the signature frosting swirl.

Milk or cream helps loosen the glaze for drizzling.

How To Make the Homemade Cinnamon Roll Fudge

Step 1: Melt the Fudge Base

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir continuously until everything is fully melted and the mixture is silky smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 2: Add Flavor

Stir in the vanilla extract and a generous amount of cinnamon until evenly distributed.

Step 3: Pour and Swirl

Pour the fudge mixture into a parchment-lined 8×8 inch pan. Tap the pan gently to even out the surface.

Step 4: Prepare the Glaze

In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with a splash of milk or cream until you get a smooth, drizzle-able consistency.

Step 5: Drizzle and Chill

Drizzle the glaze over the fudge and use a toothpick or knife to swirl it lightly into the top. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until set. Cut into squares and enjoy!

How to Serve and Store This Cinnamon Roll Fudge

This fudge makes 16 to 20 square servings, perfect for a party platter or wrapped individually as gifts. To serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes so it softens slightly into that perfect creamy texture.

To store, keep the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze it for longer storage—just wrap the pieces well and place them in a freezer bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
