Description

Indulge in this Boston Cream Pie Fudge! It’s a sweet treat that’s quick and easy to make. Perfect for a weekend dessert or a surprise for your family anytime. You’ll love every bite!


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups sugar
4 oz unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups white chocolate chips
7 oz container of marshmallow creme
3 tbsp vanilla pudding
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
6 oz semisweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp vegetable oil


Instructions

1. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper, leaving the edges hanging off the sides. Set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 7 minutes, stirring constantly. Test readiness by dropping a little into a glass of iced water. If it forms a fudge-like ball, it’s ready.
4. Quickly remove from heat and stir in white chocolate chips until melted and well combined. Then add marshmallow creme and mix well.
5. Add vanilla pudding and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Pour 2/3 of the fudge mixture into the lined baking dish.
6. Whisk cocoa powder into the remaining fudge until combined. Pour this chocolate mixture over the custard fudge in the pan. Use a knife to swirl the two layers together.
7. Allow to cool to room temperature, then cut into 16 cubes.
8. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semisweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring until melted and smooth.
9. Let the melted chocolate cool for 15 minutes. Once cool, dip the tops of the fudge cubes into the chocolate. Place them on parchment paper to set and harden for about an hour. Serve and enjoy!


Notes

Use a Candy Thermometer for Accuracy – If you’re unsure about the fudge’s readiness, use a candy thermometer instead of the ice water method. The mixture should reach 234-240°F (soft-ball stage) for the perfect consistency.

Work Quickly When Mixing – Once you remove the saucepan from heat, stir in the chocolate chips and marshmallow creme immediately. The heat helps them melt smoothly, ensuring a creamy, lump-free fudge.

Chill for Cleaner Cuts – For neat and professional-looking pieces, let the fudge set in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours before cutting. Use a warm knife to slice through smoothly.

Customize the Chocolate Topping – If you prefer a glossier finish, add ½ tablespoon of corn syrup to the melted chocolate. You can also sprinkle crushed cookies or nuts before the chocolate sets for extra texture.
