Cookies and Cream Fudge that is so smooth and creamy made with white chocolate and delicious bits of Oreo cookies. A Holiday favorite fudge recipe!
Fudge can be a challenge to make, but not with this trusted recipe. I have tried a bunch of different Cookies and Cream Fudge recipes and this is my favorite. I adapted this recipe from a super fantastic blogger, Aimee from Shugary Sweets.
Fudge is something I consider an extra special treat, so I splurge by using fine quality white chocolate and a fresh vanilla bean. Pure vanilla extract will also work if you can't find vanilla beans. The marshmallow fluff adds a nice smooth texture to the fudge. I also use it in my Peanut Butter fudge recipe.
Ingredients for making the fudge.
- White Chocolate - I use good quality white chocolate for superior taste and creaminess. This white chocolate is almost always sold in bar form and contains cocoa butter.
- Marshmallow Cream - This is also called marshmallow fluff. I find coating the measuring cup and spoon with a bit of butter makes it easier to remove.
- Sugar - just regular granulated white sugar.
- Heavy Cream - also called whipping cream, at least 35% milkfat.
- Butter - I usually bake with unsalted butter. Salted butter will work just fine, just add a tad less salt to the recipe.
- Vanilla bean- You get superior vanilla flavor using vanilla beans, but they are very expensive and not readily available. Pure vanilla extract is a great substitution.
- Oreo Cookies - Chop into chunks trying to leave the sandwich layer intact. I don't add the crumbs to the fudge as I like a nice separation of cookie chunks and white fudge.
Home-baked treats make terrific gifts. I buy beautiful decorative tins and fill them with decadent fudge. A huge hit, every time!

This looks yummy and I plan to make it to Christmas. I just have one question. At what point do you mix in the chopped Oreo's?
Laureen King
Hi Kristins, thanks for catching that, I have edited the recipe to show stirring in the oreos after everything else is mixed together.
Charmaine
Hi I'm from Australia and I've never seen or heard of marshmallow fluff can use marshmallows instead ?
Laureen King
Hi Charmaine, I'm not sure how it would work, but if I was to try with marshmallows I would melt the marshmallows to the same consistency you get when making rice krispie treats before adding it in.

Hello Laureen.

Hi Maria, I have not but I'm sure it would taste wonderful
