Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this irresistible Oreo Fudge:
- 2 cups white chocolate chips (or coarsely chopped white chocolate)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups Oreo cookies (crushed into small pieces, about 15–18 cookies)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt (optional)
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
Ingredient Highlights
- White Chocolate Chips: White chocolate is the key ingredient in creating the creamy, smooth base of this fudge. It melts easily and gives the fudge a rich sweetness that complements the crunch of the Oreos.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: This is the secret to achieving the perfect creamy texture in the fudge. It helps bind the white chocolate and the crushed Oreos into a smooth, thick mixture.
- Oreo Cookies: The star of this recipe! Crushed Oreos give the fudge its signature chocolatey crunch and flavor. They bring a bit of crunch to the otherwise soft and smooth texture.
- Vanilla Extract: A small amount of vanilla extract adds depth to the overall flavor, enhancing the sweetness of the fudge.
- Mini Chocolate Chips (Optional): These are optional but make for a great decorative touch, as well as adding more chocolatey goodness to every bite.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make the perfect Easy Oreo Fudge:
Prepare the Fudge Base:
-
Melt the White Chocolate:
In a heatproof bowl, place the white chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the white chocolate in a double boiler. -
Combine Sweetened Condensed Milk and Vanilla Extract:
Once the white chocolate is melted, stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Continue stirring until well combined. The mixture should be thick, smooth, and creamy.
Add the Oreo Cookies:
-
Crush the Oreos:
Using a resealable plastic bag or a food processor, crush the Oreos into small pieces. You can leave some bigger chunks for added texture. Set the crushed Oreos aside. -
Fold in the Crushed Oreos:
Gently fold the crushed Oreos into the melted white chocolate mixture. Be careful not to overmix to maintain some texture in the fudge. It should look like a creamy mixture with visible Oreo pieces throughout.
Set and Chill the Fudge:
-
Transfer the Mixture to a Baking Dish:
Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or foil. Pour the Oreo and white chocolate mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. -
Chill the Fudge:
Refrigerate the fudge for 2-3 hours, or until it is fully set and firm to the touch. For quicker setting, you can place it in the freezer for 1 hour. -
Optional Decoration:
If you like, sprinkle some mini chocolate chips or additional crushed Oreos on top of the fudge before chilling it for a decorative touch and extra flavor.
Cut and Serve:
-
Cut into Squares:
Once the fudge is set, remove it from the refrigerator or freezer. Use the parchment paper to lift the fudge out of the pan, then cut it into squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred size. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve the fudge chilled or at room temperature. It’s best enjoyed within 5-7 days if stored in an airtight container.
