Ingredients
Scale
Cake and Chocolate Base:
- 6 ounces (170 grams) white baking chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup (200 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (22 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (7 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
Dairy and Sweet Components:
- 2 cups (400 grams) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (170 grams) unsalted butter
- 2/3 cup (160 milliliters) heavy cream
- 7 ounces (200 grams) marshmallow cream
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) light corn syrup
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare a spotless 8×8-inch pan by nestling parchment paper inside, ensuring overhanging edges for effortless extraction. Mist the parchment with a delicate layer of nonstick spray.
- Combine sugar, butter, heavy cream, and corn syrup in a robust saucepan. Kindle medium heat, stirring diligently until the mixture erupts into a vigorous boil. Maintain constant stirring for 4-5 minutes, monitoring the temperature until it reaches 235-240°F.
- Eliminate the saucepan from heat source, then fold in white chocolate, gently coaxing it into a velvety, uniform consistency.
- Integrate marshmallow cream and vanilla extract, whisking until thoroughly blended.
- Cascade three-quarters of the fudge mixture into the prepared vessel. Transform the remaining portion by incorporating cocoa powder, whisking until the color shifts to a rich chocolate hue.
- Artfully distribute the cocoa-infused fudge atop the initial layer, creating a mesmerizing marbled landscape using a slender skewer.
- Allow the confection to rest at ambient temperature for one hour. Shroud with aluminum foil and refrigerate, permitting the fudge to solidify completely.
- Once set, elevate the fudge using parchment edges and slice into precise squares using a sharp knife.
- Craft the chocolate coating by melting semi-sweet chocolate chips with vegetable oil in brief microwave intervals, stirring between each burst.
- Elegantly dip each fudge square into the molten chocolate, positioning them to set before presenting this decadent treat.
Notes
- Choose a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent burning and ensure even heat distribution during the fudge-making process.
- Use a candy thermometer for precise temperature control, which is crucial for achieving the perfect soft-ball stage.
- Opt for high-quality white chocolate and cocoa powder to enhance the overall flavor and texture of the fudge.
- Work quickly when swirling the layers to create a beautiful marbled effect before the fudge begins to set.
