Ingredients You’ll Need

1 cup granulated sugar: This sweetens the fudge and gives it that frosting-like consistency.
½ cup heavy whipping cream: Essential for a rich, creamy texture. You could substitute this with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
Dash salt: A small pinch of salt enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors.
½ cup unsalted butter: Adds richness and helps to smooth out the texture. Make sure to use unsalted for better control over the flavor.
2 ½ cups white chocolate chips: These give the fudge its signature sweetness and creaminess. Look for high-quality chips for the best results.
7 ounces marshmallow fluff: This is key for achieving that perfect fudge texture. Marshmallow cream can be used as a substitute.
20 Oreos, crushed: The star ingredient that adds crunch and flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount based on your preference.

How to Make Cookies and Cream Fudge

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl (a stand mixer works best), add 2 ½ cups white chocolate chips and 7 ounces of marshmallow fluff. Set this aside to keep it warm.
Melt the Mixture: In a large saucepan, combine ½ cup unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup heavy whipping cream, and a dash of salt. Heat over medium-high while stirring until it begins to boil.
Boil and Combine: Keep stirring for a full 5 minutes after boiling. This is crucial for thickening the fudge. After 5 minutes, remove from heat and immediately pour the mixture over the white chocolate and marshmallow fluff.
Mix Until Smooth: Using the whisk attachment on your mixer, beat the mixture for about 1-2 minutes, or until the white chocolate melts giving you a smooth, creamy fudge.
Fold in Oreo Crumbs: Gently fold in the 20 crushed Oreos until they’re evenly distributed throughout the fudge.
Set the Fudge: Pour the fudge into a 9-inch square baking dish lined with parchment paper. Allow it to set at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight for the best texture.
Slice and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper. Trim off the edges if you want perfect squares, and cut into 1-inch pieces.

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftover fudge at room temperature for up to a week, keeping it in an airtight container. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it for up to two weeks. If freezing, wrap it well in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil—this fudge can last for up to three months in the freezer! When you want to enjoy it again, simply let it sit at room temperature or microwave a piece for about 10 seconds to restore its softness.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

For the smoothest fudge, make sure to use room temperature ingredients and melt the butter gently to avoid caramelizing it.
Don’t stir the fudge too vigorously during the boiling stage; this can incorporate air, leading to a gritty texture.
If the fudge seems too soft after setting, try refrigerating it for a couple of hours to firm it up.
To add a festive touch, sprinkle extra crushed Oreos or colorful sprinkles on top before it sets.

This Cookies and Cream Fudge is an easy treat to whip up and perfect for any occasion. The delightful combination of flavors and textures makes it a memorable dessert that you’ll find yourself craving time and again. Whether for a holiday feast or a simple afternoon snack, this fudge will not disappoint!

Recipe FAQs

What can I use instead of heavy whipping cream?

You can substitute heavy whipping cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free version. Another option is to use whole milk, although it may slightly alter the richness.

Can I use different cookies instead of Oreos?

Absolutely! You can experiment with different types of cookies like peanut butter cookies or even chocolate chip cookies. Keep in mind that the flavor will change, giving you a brand new fudge experience.

What if my fudge doesn’t set?

If your fudge remains soft after cooling, it may need more time to set at room temperature. For an immediate fix, place it in the refrigerator to firm up or heat it gently and add a little more chocolate to increase thickness.

How do I cut the fudge without it crumbling?

To slice the fudge neatly, use a sharp knife dipped in warm water, then wipe it dry before cutting. This helps to achieve clean edges without crumbling.
