Oreo fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that combines the creamy richness of fudge with the irresistible flavor of Oreo cookies. It’s a perfect treat for Oreo lovers. Here’s how to make Oreo fudge:
Ingredients:
- 3 cups (18 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 20-24 cookies), divided
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare a Pan:
- Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. This will make it easier to lift and cut the fudge later.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. If using the microwave, heat the chocolate in 20-30 second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Be careful not to overheat; you want the chocolate to be just melted.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk:
- Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and a pinch of salt (if using) into the melted chocolate mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Add Vanilla Extract:
- Stir in the pure vanilla extract to flavor the fudge.
- Fold in Crushed Oreos:
- Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of the crushed Oreo cookies into the chocolate mixture. Reserve the remaining 1/2 cup for topping.
- Transfer to Pan:
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth it out evenly.
- Add Remaining Crushed Oreos:
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the top of the fudge, pressing them down slightly to adhere.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours or until it’s set and firm.
- Cut and Serve:
- Once the fudge is set, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into squares or rectangles.
- Enjoy:
- Serve your Oreo fudge squares and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Oreo fudge is a delightful treat that’s perfect for parties, holidays, or any time you’re craving a sweet and chocolaty dessert with the added crunch and flavor of Oreo cookies.
