Description
This easy cookies and cream fudge combines creamy white chocolate and crunchy chocolate sandwich cookies for a decadent, crowd-pleasing treat. Perfect for fall potlucks, holiday parties, or a cozy night in, it’s quick to make and always a hit.
Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips (about 18 oz)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 20 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos), roughly chopped
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 2–3 extra chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper if desired.
- Roughly chop 20 chocolate sandwich cookies into bite-sized pieces. Set aside 2-3 cookies for topping.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly for 4-6 minutes until smooth and glossy.
- Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped cookies (and mini chocolate chips, if using) with a spatula. Do not overmix.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle reserved crushed cookies evenly on top and press lightly.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until firm, or freeze for 45 minutes for quicker setting.
- Lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang. Cut into 16 squares with a sharp, slightly warmed knife. Serve at room temperature.
Notes
For gluten-free fudge, use gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies. Dairy-free swaps include vegan white chocolate chips and coconut condensed milk. Chill fudge thoroughly for best texture. Warm your knife for clean cuts. Fudge can be made ahead and tastes even better after a day or two. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
