Description
A rich and creamy no-bake fudge inspired by Boston cream pie, featuring a smooth vanilla base, cocoa swirls, and a glossy chocolate topping.
Ingredients
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup light corn syrup
6 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
7 ounces marshmallow cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang, and lightly coat with nonstick spray.
- In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, butter, cream, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a rolling boil.
- Continue boiling and stirring for 4 to 5 minutes, until the temperature reaches 235 to 240°F.
- Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate until melted and smooth. Mix in marshmallow cream and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Pour about three-quarters of the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Add cocoa powder to the remaining mixture, whisk until smooth, then spoon over the white layer and gently swirl with a toothpick.
- Let cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for another hour until fully set.
- Lift fudge from pan and cut into squares.
- Melt chocolate chips with vegetable oil in the microwave in intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip the tops of each fudge square into melted chocolate and let set before serving.
Notes
Use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet for a richer topping.
Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance chocolate flavor.
Sprinkle nuts or sea salt on top before chocolate sets for texture.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Freeze for longer storage and thaw as needed.
Let sit at room temperature briefly before serving for best texture.
