Oreo Milkshake Fudge
Equipment
- 8×8 inch baking pan
- Parchment paper
- Medium saucepan
- Silicone spatula or wooden spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Sharp knife (for slicing)
Ingredients
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream for a milkshake-like creaminess
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 16 Oreo cookies roughly chopped (about 1½ cups)
- Pinch of salt optional, balances sweetness
Instructions
Prep the pan
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
Melt the base
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and butter. Stir constantly until completely smooth and glossy.
Flavor it
- Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and salt (if using).
Fold in Oreos
- Gently fold in chopped Oreo cookies, reserving a small handful for topping if desired.
Set the fudge
- Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle reserved Oreo pieces over the surface and gently press them in.
Chill
- Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until fully set.
Slice & serve
- Lift out using parchment, cut into squares, and enjoy.
Notes
- White chocolate quality matters: Use real cocoa-butter white chocolate chips or bars for the smoothest texture. Cheap chips can seize or turn grainy.
- Low heat only: Keep the heat gentle and stir constantly—overheating white chocolate will cause it to scorch or separate.
- Milkshake flavor balance: The heavy cream softens the sweetness and gives that true milkshake mouthfeel. Don’t skip it unless you want firmer, sweeter fudge.
- Oreo texture control: For best contrast, use a mix of chunky pieces and fine crumbs. Too many crumbs alone can make the fudge overly soft.
- Vanilla matters: A good vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste) really boosts the “cookies-and-cream milkshake” flavor.
- Setting time: Fudge may feel soft at first but firms significantly after 2–3 hours of chilling. For ultra-clean slices, chill overnight.
- Cutting tip: Warm your knife under hot water, wipe dry, and slice straight down—clean after each cut for sharp edges.
- Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container up to 7 days. Let sit at room temperature 5–10 minutes before serving for the creamiest texture.
- Freezing: Fudge freezes well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
- Flavor swaps: Golden Oreos, mint Oreos, or peanut butter Oreos all work beautifully with this base.
Tips & Variations
- Extra milkshake vibe: Swirl in ¼ cup marshmallow fluff before chilling.
- Chocolate drizzle: Melt dark or milk chocolate and drizzle over the top once set.
- Ultra-smooth texture: Crush some Oreos into fine crumbs and mix half crumbs / half chunks.
- Clean cuts: Warm your knife under hot water, wipe dry, then slice.
FAQ – Oreo Milkshake Fudge
Can I make this fudge without heavy cream?
Yes. You can omit the heavy cream for a firmer, more traditional fudge texture, but the milkshake-style creaminess will be reduced.
Why is my fudge too soft?
This usually means it hasn’t chilled long enough or your kitchen was very warm during melting. Refrigerate longer or cut into smaller squares.
Can I use flavored Oreos?
Absolutely. Mint, Golden, Birthday Cake, or Peanut Butter Oreos all work well and keep the base recipe the same.
Does this fudge need to stay refrigerated?
Yes. Because of the dairy content, it should be stored in the refrigerator and only left out briefly for serving.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes. Use a 9×13-inch pan and expect a slightly longer chilling time to fully set.
Is this safe for gifting?
It is, as long as it’s kept chilled. For gifting, pack with an ice pack and note that it should be refrigerated on arrival.
