EXPERT BAKING TIPS
HEAT SLOWLY
I know many people are able to make fudge in the microwave by sticking the entire bowl in for a minute at a time but I find that the chocolate seizes that way.
I like to heat mine in 20 second increments, stirring after each time until melted and incorporated.
Chop Your Cookies Ahead of Time
Make sure your chocolate sandwich cookies are cut up and ready to go so they can be mixed in before the cookies and cream fudge starts to set.
I like to cut each cookie into quarters.
Make sure to only use 9 cookies for mixing in the fudge (36 chunks); reserve 4 cookies (12 chunks) to place on the top of the fudge.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Here are the steps to make this fudge!
STEP 1: PLACE CHIPS, BUTTER AND SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK IN A MICROWAVE SAFE BOWL
Heat in 20 second increments, stirring after each time until the chocolate, butter/vegan baking stick and sweetened condensed milk are fully melted and incorporated.
STEP 2: ADD THE VANILLA AND SALT
Once melted, stir in the vanilla and salt until combined.
Step 1 Step 2
STEP 3: ADD IN THE COOKIE CHUNKS
Using a spatula, fold in 9 cookies worth of the chocolate sandwich cookie chunks (36 chunks) until just combined.
STEP 4: POUR INTO PAN
Pour the fudge into a lightly greased and lined with parchment paper 8 x 8 pan. Smooth the top with a butter knife or icing spatula.
Step 3 Step 4
STEP 5: Add More Cookie Chunks
Gently press the rest of the cookie chunks into the top of the fudge so they stick but aren't fully submerged.
STEP 6: CHILL
Pop the fudge into the fridge to let it set. It needs at least 1 hour.
HOW TO MAKE THIS VEGAN
Most vegan alternatives for making this fudge contain coconut and my son cannot have it.
Some contain legumes and he can’t have those either; therefore I am unable to have these products in my home to test for you guys.
Please keep in mind that I cannot test this out at my home due to my son’s allergies, so I can’t promise it will work and it will change the flavor since coconut has a unique taste.
But…this is my idea for those of you who are dairy free:
HOW TO ENSURE THE FUDGE IS VEGAN
- Use sweetened condensed coconut milk.
- Only use unsalted vegan baking stick.
- Use chocolate chips that are gluten free, nut free and vegan.
- Make sure the chocolate sandwich cookies you use are allergy friendly.
FAQ
You can cut it into squares or rectangles but I prefer it into 64 one inch squares.
NO. You need to use the sweetened condensed.
The fudge will be too thin. I wouldn't use anything larger than an 8x8 pan.
No you don't. You can leave that out. I just feel it helps to make the fudge creamy.
No you don't but then please keep in mind it won't be "oreo" fudge.
STORING AND FREEZING
STORING
Store the Oreo Fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
FREEZING
You can freeze the fudge for up to 30 days. Wrap the entire 8x8 inch square in plastic wrap and then pop in a zip top bag or put into a freezer safe airtight container.
To thaw, place the fudge in the fridge the night before you need it.
