This 3 ingredient oreo fudge recipe is so easy a kid could make it (and mine do!) Made with hardly any effort at all, this fudge is perfectly creamy and packed with America's favorite cookie in every bite.
What's black and white and delicious all over? This cookies and cream fudge! We are big fans of fudge, but my favorite recipes don't require boiling sugars or candy thermometers. This is what considers fudge recipes like this and my Rolo Turtle Fudge recipe non-traditional.
Still, we're perfectly fine with that because the results are nothing less than incredible. For more non-traditional fudge recipes, check out this Armpit Fudge and Easter Mini Eggs Fudge.
Why This Recipe Works
- Minimal effort. You will spend hardly any time at all gathering the ingredients and mixing everything together. The most difficult step is having the patience to let the fudge set.

- No stove required! Just grab a mixing bowl and your microwave. This means you can make it at home, in your hotel, or in the dorm rooms.

🥘 Ingredients
White chocolate chips- Use a bag of white chocolate chips. You can use any brand, but I know that the best results come from fancier name brands like Ghiradelli, as they melt much more smoothly and easily.
Oreo cookies- see any flavor of oreo cookies for this fudge. We use plain/original, but feel free to use double stuffed, mint, or any other flavor.
Canned vanilla frosting- This is necessary for helping the fudge to feel soft and creamy. You could opt for chocolate frosting or a festive colored frosting if desired.

🍴 Recipe Tips
Double broiler
You can make this microwave oreo fudge in a mixing bowl for a super simple recipe anyone can make. If desired, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a pot over very low heat on the stove.
Let the fudge set
After an hour in the fridge, you can cut the fudge into squares, but the fudge will be very soft compared to the chocolate candies. After 2 hours the fudge will be firmer. Ideally, you will want to wait about 3-4 hours before serving.
👩🏻🍳 Storage

Room Temp

Freezer
You can freeze this easy fudge recipe! Simply cut it into serving-sized squares and then place wrap it well in plastic wrap before placing it into an airtight container or freezer bag. You could also layer it in an airtight container with parchment paper. You can keep it frozen for up to 2 months.
💭 FAQs
Traditionally, one serving of fudge would be 1 square inch of fudge but because we top our fudge with oreo cookies, cutting a square around the cookies gives us one larger serving sized piece that is easy to gauge.
For straight lines and smooth cuts, use a heated knife. By taking a large knife and holding it above a heated stove burner or running it under very hot water, you can warm it up enough to cut through the fudge effortlessly.
If you over-mix your fudge you run the risk of causing it to set up and become hard as a rock. To keep your fudge soft and smooth, only mix until fully combined, and work quickly because it will set quickly.
