Method

  1. Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring there is enough overhang on the sides to lift the fudge out later.

  2. Rough-chop or crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into a mix of small crumbs and larger, bite-sized chunks.

  3. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk.

  4. Microwave the mixture on medium power for 30-second intervals. Stir vigorously after each burst until the white chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is silky smooth.

  5. Immediately stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.

  6. Fold in about three-quarters of the crushed cookies, distributing them evenly through the fudge base.

  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer with a spatula.

  8. Press the remaining cookie pieces into the top of the fudge for a decorative and textured finish.

  9. Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 3 to 4 hours until completely firm.

  10. Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment paper and cut into 24 squares using a sharp, warm knife.

Notes

Avoid high heat when melting white chocolate; it is delicate and can seize or become grainy if it gets too hot.

For the cleanest cuts, run your knife under hot water and wipe it dry between every slice.

Store the fudge in the refrigerator to maintain the best texture, especially if your kitchen is warm.

If you want a softer fudge, you can add an extra two tablespoons of condensed milk, though it may take longer to set.

Questions

Can I use white chocolate bars instead of chips?
Yes, just make sure to chop the bars into small, uniform pieces so they melt at the same rate as the condensed milk.
How long does this fudge last?
In an airtight container, this fudge will stay fresh for up to 1 week at room temperature or 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator.
Can I freeze cookies and cream fudge?
Absolutely. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer bag. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Can I make this on the stove?
Yes, use a double boiler or a heat-proof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir constantly until the chocolate and milk are combined.
