  2. Cookies & Cream Fudge Recipe

Fudge doesn’t really need an introduction. I must admit, I often use this…cheating – or shall we say easier? – method for making fudge. This utilizes marshmallow cream and doesn’t require hand beating the fudge tirelessly, hoping to achieve the correct consistency. I decided cookies and cream fudge was in order because it’s a fun update on the usual chocolate or peanut butter ones I make.

This is a definite Christmas treat: sweet and very decadent!

Cookies & Cream Fudge

A modern take on an old-school dessert, this recipe is a quicker and simpler way to make fudge. Oreos bring incredible flavor and texture, while marshmallow and vanilla add lightness.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Resting Time 4 hours
Total Time 4 hours 40 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 17 oz jar marshmallow creme
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter
  • 11 oz white chocolate
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies

Instructions
 

  • Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. Also, have the marshmallow cream, white chocolate, and Oreos prepared and ready.
  • Bring sugar, milk, and butter to a low boil over medium-high heat. Depending on the stove, the temperature may need to be adjusted so the mixture does not boil too hard and scorch on the bottom.
  • Stir constantly and bring to 235-238°F on a candy or instant-read thermometer.
  • Remove from heat and add white chocolate, vanilla bean paste, and marshmallow creme. Stir until smooth. Then mix in 1 ½ cups crushed Oreos.
  • Pour into the prepared baking dish and top with remaining ½ cup Oreos, pressing slightly to make them adhere. Let cool 4-6 hours.
  • Using the parchment as a sling, remove from baking dish and cut into small pieces. Be sure to store in airtight containers so the fudge does not dry out.
