How to make Biscoff Fudge
Making Biscoff fudge is a delightful and straightforward process that results in a sweet treat everyone will love. This fudge combines creamy white chocolate with the unique flavor of Biscoff, creating a rich dessert that is perfect for sharing.
Ingredients
- 397 g (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 400 g (2 cups + 3 tbsp) white chocolate
- 100 g (½ cup) Biscoff spread
- 0.5 tsp salt (optional)
- 130 g (1 cup + ⅓ cup) Biscoff biscuits
Directions
-
Prepare Your Tray: Start by lining an 8″ x 8″ tray with baking paper. This will help you lift the fudge out later and keep it from sticking, making for easy serving.
-
Melt the White Chocolate: In a large bowl, melt your white chocolate. You can do this in the microwave for convenience, heating in short intervals to avoid burning it. If you prefer, you can melt it over a bain marie (a bowl over simmering water).
-
Mix in Ingredients: Once the chocolate is melted, add the sweetened condensed milk, Biscoff spread, and optional salt. Stir everything together until it is completely mixed.
-
Prepare the Biscoff Biscuits: Take 4-5 Biscoff biscuits, set them aside for later, and crush the rest of the biscuits into smaller pieces. Stir these crushed biscuits into the fudge mixture.
-
Transfer to Tray: Pour the fudge mixture into the lined tray. Use a spatula to smooth out the mixture into the corners and even out the top, ensuring it’s flat.
-
Add Toppings: Take the reserved biscuits that you set aside earlier, roughly break them up, and sprinkle them over the top of your fudge. Gently press them into the surface so they stick.
-
Chill and Serve: Place the fudge in the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours. Once set, you can cut it into squares or bars and enjoy your delicious Biscoff fudge!

How to Store Biscoff Fudge
Storing your Biscoff fudge correctly will help maintain its flavor and texture:
- Cool Completely: Before storing, ensure that your fudge has completely cooled and set in the fridge.
- Wrap It Up: Cut the fudge into squares and wrap them in parchment paper or plastic wrap. This helps prevent them from sticking together.
- Keep It Airtight: Store the wrapped fudge in an airtight container. Place it in a cool, dry place, or keep it in the refrigerator for extra freshness.
- Shelf Life: Biscoff fudge can last for about 1-2 weeks at room temperature and up to 3 weeks in the fridge.
Tips and Mistakes to Avoid
Making fudge can be simple, but here are a few tips to ensure your Biscoff fudge turns out perfectly:
- Don’t Overheat the Chocolate: When melting the white chocolate, do it in short bursts if using the microwave. Overheating can cause the chocolate to seize, ruining the texture.
- Measure Ingredients Accurately: Precision is important when baking. Use weight measurements where possible for the best results.
- Cool Properly: Allow your fudge enough time to chill completely before cutting. This will help it hold its shape.
- Avoid Humidity: Fudge may become sticky in humid conditions. Store it in a cool, dry place if possible.
Variations
If you want to change it up a bit, consider these variations of Biscoff fudge:
- Add Nuts: You can mix in chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for added crunch.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Drizzle melted milk or dark chocolate over the top for an extra special touch.
- Add Flavor: You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the fudge mix for an extra layer of flavor.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute the sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk and use vegan white chocolate for a dairy-free fudge.
FAQs
1. Can I use milk chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Yes, you can substitute milk chocolate for white chocolate. It will change the flavor profile slightly, making it richer and less sweet.
2. How can I tell if my fudge is set?
Your fudge should be firm to the touch and hold its shape. You can also gently press the top with your finger to check for firmness.
3. Can I freeze Biscoff fudge?
Yes, you can freeze Biscoff fudge. To freeze, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in an airtight container. You can keep it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before serving.
4. Can I use a different type of cookie spread?
Certainly! You can use any cookie spread you prefer, such as Nutella or peanut butter, for a different taste.
5. Why is my fudge grainy?
Grainy fudge can happen if the chocolate was overheated or if it didn’t mix well. Always be sure to melt slowly and mix thoroughly for a smooth texture.
