    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.

    Why This Recipe Works

    1. 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.
    2. It's versatile. Grab your favorite flavor of oreo cookies or make other minor modifications for maximum flavor change and new experiences every time.
    3. 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 needed to make 3 ingredient oreo fudge

    🥘 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.

    For specific quantities, see the recipe card below.

    🧾 Substitutions

    White chocolate chips. In this homemade oreo fudge, you can swap out the white chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or a combination of any of them for a richer chocolate flavor experience.

    Frosting. If desired, you can use canned chocolate frosting or any other flavor you may want to use. I recommend sticking with vanilla or cream cheese flavor because they are ideal for creating a rich and creamy flavor perfect for this cookies and cream oreo fudge.

    📖 Variations

    Oreo cookies. You can use any flavor of oreo cookies, including double or triple stuffed. This three ingredient oreo fudge can be customized to fit holidays, seasons, and parties by simply swapping out the main cookie flavor.

    🍴 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 more firm. Ideally, you will want to wait about 3-4 hours before serving.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    Fridge

    Keep this fudge stored in an airtight container for up to 1-2 weeks in an airtight container in the fridge.

    Room Temp

    You can keep it in the fridge for easy storage or, after the fudge has been fully set, keep it at room temperature if you don't want it chilled. It will only last about 3-5 days at 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

    How much is one serving of fudge?

    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.

    How do I cut smooth lines of fudge?

    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.

    What happens if you over beat fudge?

    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.
