Quick fudge recipe
This is a really quick and simple fudge recipe, which I got from Cupcake Jemma’s Cookies & Cream Fudge Recipe. Unlike “real” fudge, this involves minimal effort but with great end results.

Ingredients
Cookies & Cream layer
- 280g White chocolate
- 200g (half a normal can) Condensed Milk
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 10 broken-up Oreos
Chocolate layer
- 280g Dark chocolate (50% dark)
- 50g Butter
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of salt
- 200g (half a normal can) Condensed Milk
Equipment
- A bowl
- A saucepan (which the bowl can rest on without touching the bottom)
- Spatula
- Baking tray
- Greaseproof paper
Instructions
- Line your baking tray with butter (so the paper sticks to the sides) and then put the greaseproof paper in and press it down.
Cookies and Cream layer
-
Chop up the white chocolate into small chunks and put in your bowl.
-
Pour in your condensed milk and vanilla extract.
-
Boil some water and pour into your saucepan, so there is an inch of water at the bottom, keep it simmering.
-
Put your bowl on top of the pan, making sure that the bottom of the bowl isn’t touching the water (you’ll use the steam to heat up your ingredients)
- Congratulations you’ve just made a Bain-marie
- Stir the mixture until the ingredients are well incorporated, you’ll know this by the mixture holding together and no longer leaving sticky traces on the side of the bowl.
-
Take the bowl off the pan and mix in your broken up Oreos. Do this quickly as the mixture will start to set!
-
Now (equally quickly) pour your mixture into your baking tray and spread it around until the surface is smooth (a back of a spoon will do if you don’t have anything fancier).
-
Leave it to set in the fridge for 1 hour.
Chocolate layer
-
Get your Cookie and cream layer out of the fridge and set it nearby.
-
Chop up the dark chocolate into small chunks and put in your bowl.
-
Chop up your butter and put in bowl with the chocolate.
-
Add vanilla extract and salt
-
Reconstruct your Bain-marie and heat up the mixture, mixing it well as it heats.
-
When it is fully incorporated, take it off the heat and mix in the condensed milk.
- Pour the mixture over the cookies and cream layer and smooth out the surface as before.
- Don’t worry if some drips down the sides, you’ll trim the sides later on to make everything more pretty!
- Put in the fridge for another hour
Serving
- Take the fudge out of fridge
- Trim the sides to make it looks nice.
- Cut it into small squares
- Now all that’s left is to enjoy it!
