Cinnamon Roll Fudge

There’s something so comforting about the smell of warm cinnamon wafting through the house, especially on a chilly morning. The first time I made this Cinnamon Roll Fudge, it wasn’t planned—I had been craving cinnamon rolls but didn’t have the time or patience to make dough, wait for it to rise, and roll everything out. So I decided to experiment with turning those same flavors into a quick, no-bake treat. The result? A creamy, melt-in-your-mouth fudge swirled with cinnamon-sugar goodness that disappeared almost instantly from the kitchen counter.

My kids call it “cinnamon magic,” and honestly, I think they’re onto something. It’s rich without being overly sweet, and the beautiful cinnamon swirls make each piece feel extra special. Plus, it’s one of those recipes that looks like it took a lot of effort, but in reality, comes together in just minutes. That’s a win in my book—especially when I’m juggling a busy schedule.

We’ve since made this for holiday dessert platters, teacher gifts, and even cozy movie nights. It’s the kind of treat that gets people asking for the recipe before they’ve even finished their first bite. There’s just something about that combination of smooth vanilla fudge and warm cinnamon spice that feels like a hug in dessert form. Whether you’re making it for a celebration or just because, I promise this fudge will earn a permanent spot in your family’s favorites.

Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe

Can I use store-bought frosting instead of making my own swirl?
Yes! Just warm it slightly and mix in the cinnamon-sugar before swirling into the fudge base.

Does this need to be refrigerated?
Yes, for best texture and freshness, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Can I freeze Cinnamon Roll Fudge?
Absolutely! Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes, swap the butter for a dairy-free margarine and use dairy-free sweetened condensed milk.

Can I double the recipe?
Yes, just use a larger pan and ensure the fudge sets fully before cutting.

What You Need to Make Cinnamon Roll Fudge

3 cups white chocolate chips

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Equipment:

8×8-inch baking pan

Parchment paper

Small saucepan

Mixing bowl

Spoon or skewer for swirling

How to Make Cinnamon Roll Fudge

Prepare the pan: Line your 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang for easy removal.

Make the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.

Melt the fudge base: In a saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir continuously until smooth and fully melted.

Add vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Layer and swirl: Pour half the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top. Add the remaining fudge mixture, then the remaining cinnamon-sugar. Use a skewer or knife to swirl the cinnamon mixture into the fudge.

Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Cut and serve: Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang, slice into squares, and enjoy.

Tips for Making the Best Cinnamon Roll Fudge

Use good-quality white chocolate chips for a smoother, creamier texture.

Don’t rush the melting process—low and slow prevents graininess.

If you want extra cinnamon flavor, mix a bit of cinnamon directly into the fudge base.

Warm your knife under hot water before slicing for clean, neat edges.

Add a drizzle of cream cheese glaze for a bakery-style finish.
