Creme Brûlée Fudge

A few weeks ago Olive Garden, my place of work, came out with a new Caramel Brulee Martini.  It is delicious!  Ever since trying it (Being a Mormon, I tried the non-alcoholic version my manager told the bartender to wing) I have been craving creme brûlée.  So, when my sister told me she found a creme brûlée fudge recipe on Pinterest, I just had to try it!  I went to the page and found 3 recipes all with a review alongside them.  The third recipe was the best according to the blogger, but the measurements she used were milliliters and grams... yikes!!!  So, I converted all the measurements as accurately as I could.  It called for 200g of marshmallows, which I didn't have.  I did, however, have a jar of marshmallow cream which said 198g on it, so I just used that.  Here is the recipe with the Americanized measurements.

1 can (5 oz) evaporated milk
1/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1 small jar (198 grams) marshmallow cream
Most of a bag of white chocolate chips (the entire bag, minus 1/4 cup)

1. Grease a pan, I used an 8x8 cake pan and the fudge was a little thick to my liking, so a 9x13 would probably be perfect.
2. In a large, heavy based pot dissolve sugar in the butter and evaporated milk.  Increase heat to medium and, using a thermometer, heat to 238*F, stirring constantly.  It will take quite a while, so you might want to pull up a stool.
3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in white chocolate chips and marshmallow cream with a wooden spoon.  Once it is all mixed together and creamy, pour into your prepared pan.
4.  Let it set for 20 minutes or so, then sprinkle some white sugar on top and torch it.  ( I used a lighter... which took forever!  If you have a small propane torch I would recommend using that.)


It took probably an hour for my fudge to completely set up, the original recipe said it set up pretty quickly so it might be because I used marshmallow cream instead of marshmallows, but it is tasty nonetheless!  My husband hates fudge and he is insisting on me making another batch of this because it will be all gone by the time his family comes to visit.
