Ingredient List
You only need a handful of ingredients to make this cookies and cream fudge. They're all easily found at your local grocery store. You can find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.
- White Chocolate - This adds flavor and creaminess. I recommend a bar white chocolate over white chocolate chips.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk - You need this to amplify the other flavors, and give the fudge its signature texture.
- Salt - I recommend adding a touch of salt to help enhance the other flavors and also to keep the fudge from being overly cloying.
- Oreos - This white chocolate oreo fudge uses almost an entire package of chopped Oreos.
- Vanilla - to really drive home the balance of flavors, vanilla extract really helps to round things out.
Can I use any Oreos?
Absolutely, yes! I love the contrast of the white chocolate and the deep chocolate flavor of original Oreos, but you don't have to stop there. You can make so many variations and they are all delicious! Try any and all the types of Oreos there are. Golden Oreos, fudge-covered Oreos, peanut butter Oreos, and chocolate-covered Oreos are all great options. .
If you want to get really inventive, you can change up the flavor in the fudge itself. Add a drop of mint extract with your mint Oreos. Or maybe add in a swirl of peanut butter.
I am all about trying new things and seeing how they turn out.
How to make
There are so many methods of making cookies and cream fudge that I decided to just go with the simplest one. Who wants to spend ages making the fudge when we could be spending more time eating the fudge, right?
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Use something like a rolling pin and large plastic bag to crush Oreos.
- Mix together the white chocolate and condensed milk in a medium saucepan.
- Place over medium-low heat until the chocolate is melted.
- Add vanilla and then crushed Oreos.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
- Add more Oreos to the top of the fudge.
- Set, cut with a sharp knife, then enjoy.
Easy peasy, right? The best part about this homemade fudge is that it only requires a few simple ingredients, and you probably have most of it at home, if your pantry is well-stocked. I usually only need to run out to get the sweetened condensed milk unless it's baking season.
Microwave instructions: If you prefer to use the microwave instead of the stove top, you can. Add the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate to a large microwave-safe bowl. heat at full power for 30-second increments. Stirring well between each increment until the white chocolate is fully melted. Be careful not to overheat otherwise the white chocolate will seize and become grainy and crumbly.
How to store
You should always store your fudge in an airtight container and keep it in a dark, cool, dry place for the best results. It will last a couple of weeks like this. To extend its life, you can put your container in the refrigerator.
This easy Oreo fudge recipe can be frozen. The only issue is if you top your fudge with more Oreos, those exposed Oreos will get really soft. That might not be an issue for some because they tend to get soft over time anyway, but it might be an issue for others.
This fudge lasts fairly well at room temperature for a while, so I wouldn't stress out about freezing them unless you plan on not eating them for another month.
If you are looking to set your fudge quickly (because we need to get to the eating part asap), then you can pop your freshly made fudge in the freezer for about an hour to speed things along.

I have a few you might enjoy. First, you need to check out my creamy Nutella fudge. After making a few batches of those, try my Cracker Jack Fudge. It's so good and so much fun to eat! If you want more Oreos, try this no-bake Oreo cheesecake, and these Oreo donuts.

Heather says
Is it 3 cups of the white chips before it's melted or is it 3 cups of melted chocolate?
Amanda Powell says
Apologies for the late response, I was in the process of moving out of state. It is three cups before melting. I will update it to clarify right away!
Michelle says
How many bars of white chocolate should you use? I know you said 3 cups, but not sure how many bars that equals. - Thank you!
Amanda Powell says
It really depends on the brand and size of the bars. I would say to grab at least 5 - 6 and keep any leftovers to snack on or to melt and drizzle on top. It's better to have more than you need available!
