Ingredients
You will need the following to make creamy Speculoos white chocolate fudge:

- 100 g Speculoos spread — provides the characteristic spiced cookie flavor.
- 120 g Speculoos biscuits — roughly crushed to add crunch and texture.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract — for a subtle aromatic note.

How to make Speculoos Fudge
Quick overview: melt, mix, add biscuits, set and chill. Full quantities are listed in the ingredient section above.
- Prepare your pan: Line a 20 x 20 cm (approximately) square pan with parchment paper so you can lift the set fudge out easily.
- Melt the base: In a medium saucepan over low to medium heat, combine the chopped white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, Speculoos spread, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Gently heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Avoid high heat to prevent the chocolate from seizing or separating.
- Fold in the biscuits: Remove the pan from the heat and fold in most of the crushed Speculoos biscuits, reserving a few pieces for decoration so they stay crunchy.
- Pour and level: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Scatter the reserved biscuit pieces on top for a decorative, crunchy finish.
- Chill until firm: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the fudge is fully set.
- Slice and serve: Lift the fudge from the pan using the parchment, slice into even squares with a large sharp knife, and serve. Cold fudge slices cleanly and hold their shape best after chilling.
Tips for best results
- Choose quality white chocolate: A higher-quality bar melts more smoothly and yields a less cloying final product.
- Melt gently: Use a low heat or a bain-marie to avoid scorching or grainy chocolate.
- Add biscuits last: Fold in cookie pieces at the end so they remain crisp and add texture.
- Don’t overmix: Stir just until combined to keep the fudge silky.
- Cool fully: Allow the fudge to set fully in the fridge for clean, neat slices.
Storage
Room temperature: Store fudge in an airtight container away from heat for up to 1 week.
Refrigerator: Keep chilled for up to 2 weeks; bring to room temperature a few minutes before serving for best texture.
Freezer: Freeze pieces for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before eating.
Variations & substitutions
- Dark chocolate Speculoos: Swap white chocolate for dark chocolate for a deeper, less sweet version.
- Speculoos & hazelnut: Stir in chopped toasted hazelnuts for extra crunch and a nutty flavor.
- Caramel Speculoos: Add soft caramel pieces or a drizzle of salted caramel for an indulgent twist.
- Cinnamon boost: Add a pinch of ground cinnamon to intensify the warm, spiced profile.
- Coconut Speculoos: Mix in shredded coconut for a tropical note and added chew.
