5 Minute Cookies and Cream Fudge
Cookies and Cream Fudge that takes five minutes to make with just three ingredients. It’s made with Oreos and white chocolate for a fun twist on traditional fudge.
Despite my sweet tooth, fudge is one candy that took a few tries for me to adjust to. It’s so sweet, so I can never eat more than a piece or two at a time.
Recently, I came across several homemade fudge recipes that are made with a microwave. While it’s not made in the traditional method, this quick and easy method does the trick and it’s a great solution for something last minute.
I love cookies and cream and have made cupcakes, brownies, and cookies, So, why not fudge? I thought the combination of white chocolate and chocolate sandwich cookies sounded really good.
I like that you don’t need a candy thermometer or complicated cooking steps to make fudge. This microwave recipe is so easy and I think tastes just as good as classic fudge.
It also is good to make as gifts. I think I’ll be adding this to my holiday treats list. This Oreo fudge needs only about 5 minutes of prep. Then you just let it cool and set and it’s ready to cut into and eat.
How to Make It
Combine the white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Warm the mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds and then stir. Warm it for 30 seconds more and stir again until smooth.
Spread half of the crushed cookies in the bottom of an 8×8″ square baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the top of the cookies. Sprinkle the rest of the cookies over the top and lightly press them into the white chocolate layer.
Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for several hours or until it’s set. Slice it into squares for serving.
Tips
Use a food processor to crush the Oreo cookies easily. Or, if you don’t have one, crush them in a bag with a rolling pin.
When you melt the chocolate be careful not to cook it too long. White chocolate scorches easily, so only heat in 30-second intervals and stir between each one.
If you don’t have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate with the sweetened condensed milk on the stove in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with parchment paper. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and condensed milk. Microwave for about 30 seconds and remove and stir until chocolate is mostly melted. Microwave again for another 30 seconds and stir again. Chocolate should be completely melted and smooth. If not, microwave slightly longer. Careful not to overheat in the microwave.
Store the cookies and cream fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

I like your recipe Also, can you make kidney diet recipe?
We do broad diet-specific recipes like keto and gluten-free, but not ones as specific as you mentioned. You can see all of our recipes in the recipe index to see if any will work for you.
I have found that the canned milks can have more milk than the label says, so I always measure it in a liquid measuring cup. Since I have started doing this, my efforts turn out perfectly. Even an extra half ounce can make a difference in some recipes.
I made this for the first time and it turned out great. I’m going to make several batches for upcoming parties.
That’s so great!
Thanks so much Kirbie for this recipe! I’m not the best when it comes to baking, but these we so simple it was impossible for me to go wrong!
My friends and family loved them and they hardly lasted 2 hours! I would definitely make them again.
Thank you x
I’m so glad this worked out well for you!
tried the recipe. tastes really good. but so soft after leaving in fridge overnight. tried recipe twice and both times soft like a spread. used exact condensed milk. chocolate and oreos. any ideas
I’m not sure why yours would be like a spread. I am guessing it may be the condensed milk? Are you using regular full fat condensed milk or fat free? I have not tried with fat free but I wonder if that may have a thinner consistency, causing the fudge to be too soft
Will these melt easily? I would like to make these and share with my friends!
They do not melt easily. Hope you like them!
This looks so yum!
Question: How do you store it & how many days can it keep for?
So I can give it to people as presents. 🙂
store in a container in the fridge. these should be able to keep for a while. I’ve done it as long as 2 weeks
You should really put in the recipe ingredients “sweetened condensed milk”…I used evaporated milk thinking that’s what you meant :/
well, that is not really fair. i said condensed milk. I did not say evaporated. they are not the same thing. you are the one who used the wrong one.
hi i’m a high-schooler going to a pro start program for culinary. would this be a good recipe to do for a class project? For the project we have to come up with a recipe and make it for a bake shop and sell to the rest of the school.
i’m sorry, I can’t answer that for you
You’re my new best friend. I’ve just tried this recipe, and it is PERFECTION. Sooo sweet and so delicious! You are a *genius*. 😀 To those mentioning that it doesn’t set – the bottom of mine is still ever-so-slightly softer than the rest, but it’s neither here nor there when I’m just dyyyying of white chocolate heaven. Thanks so much Kirbie!
yay! so happy to hear you like the recipe! I hope you check out some more!
Mine didn’t set either. I used the ingredients listed and yes used condeneed milk and still really soft.
did you put it in the fridge or freezer to set?
I’ve tried this and it doesn’t set completely….tried adding icing sugar but that doesn’t work. Any suggestions please?
did you use condensed milk and not evaporated milk?
Hi, so I was thinking of trying this out, but I have no clue how many servings this will turn out. Assuming each ‘serving’ is a 2cm x 2cm square (around 0.8 inches), how many servings will this recipe make?
it makes a 8 x 8 inch pan amount.
Can anyone tell me how much chocolate they used? I have no idea how much one cup would be.
this recipe uses US measuring cups
what size tin of condensed milk eg in ml or grams
it is 14 oz, the standard one usually found if you are in the US
do u use just the Oreo biscuits or filling too
I used the whole oreo including filling
Hi…what is the weight of chocolate used.
sorry i only know the measurements as given
Hi! What sort of consistency should this be? The last microwave fudge I made (*not this recipe!) didn’t set at all well, and had the consistency of soft honey.
Also, would you recommend the microwave be set to ‘high’ or ‘medium high’? Mine isn’t very sophisticated.
the consistency of this should just be like actual fudge, not soft honey, one it is set. When you are mixing it, it will be more like a thick batter that you can mold and shape. And i used regular full power on the microwave.
I know it’s microwave only but how long would it take to do in the oven?! My friend loved the recipe but does not own a microwave
If you dont have a microwave, I’d recommend making it on the stove and not the oven.
Hi, if I want to make it dairy free so not use milk is there something else I could use?
sorry, I don’t know how to make this recipe without the milk!
Hi, they have coconut sweetened condensed milk now for a non-dairy option, unless there is dairy in the cookies.
your ingredient list says one can of condensed milk…. how big is the can? I want to get it right so I can make this as soon as possible. Quite possibly the best thing I have ever seen!
I usually only see condensed milks come in 1 size which is why I didn’t get more specific, but I believe it is 14 oz.
I’m certainly going to try this. It sounds absolutely incredible. I love Cookies and Cream and prefer white chocolate to any other type. Since I’m older and rather old-fashioned, I’m going to use a double boiler to melt the chocolate. I have better luck melting chocolate that way. I wonder how this would taste with caramel mixed in with it?
It sounds like the caramel would be a really delicious addition!
These are fantastic! Thanks for sharing
glad you like it!!
Just a quick question: instead of lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, can I just pour it into a 8×8 glass dish, or will it be difficult to cut the pieces once it has hardened?
I think it will stick to the pan which is why I lined mine with parchment paper.
It may sound crazy but as im not a fan of the microwave would this set the same if warmed on the stove top? I assume so but …?
I’ve never tried it on stovetop, but i imagine it should be the same result.
I would use the double boiler method.
Just an idea its possible to make these into chocolate covered TRUFFLES just roll into balls and freeze then roll in cocoa powder. Ill have to try that out for sure in next couple of weeks but if I get the coconut creme cookies I will surely try them out and roll in powdered sugar. YA THINK ????????
I’m not sure how this would work as truffles just because it’s hard to work with. It’s super sticky and a little bit liquidy. I’ve made easy truffles before using a Oreo and cream cheese mixture.
Well I made this FUDGE and it isd KICK BUTT AWESOME AND ADDICTIVE. OMG I DID ADD 1 tsp. of mint and it was over the top. Im going to make it with Strawberry cookies that I saw at Walmart and add 1 tsp. of strawberry extract also one with coconut cream cookies and coconut extract. People try this recipe its the best. IM HOOKED LIKE OTHERS ON THIS ONE FOR SURE.
glad you like it!
Luv how easy this is and microwave to boot will make Sunday and let u know how it turns out.. TKS
hope you like it!
It turned out great with 1tsp mint extract! It was not too strong. It was a little subtle and tasted like mint and cookies ice cream which is what I was hoping for. I would add another 1/2 teaspoon for real mint lovers though.
Thanks for the recipe. I love how simple it is to make.
Oh thanks for getting back and letting me know how it turned out with the mint! That’s great to know that it worked.
I was thinking about making these for Christmas to give out as gifts but I was wondering how you think they would be with a little bit of mint extract added? If you think the mint would work well, do you think about 1/4 tsp would be about right?
I’ve never tasted this recipe so I’m hesitant to try the mint without some guidance.
Thanks!
I haven’t tried, but I imagine a little mint extract should be fine. I’d start with 1/4 tsp, but you probably need about 1/2 to 1 tsp. But you can add a little at a time and then taste it and make sure your chocolate doesn’t get runny.
Have you done it with regular chocolate? My boys LOVE Oreos, but are not crazy about white chocolate.
It should work the same with regular chocolate. I did white because of the cookies and cream theme.
I would like to make these for xmas, how long will the fudge last before it goes bad?
I dont know exactly how long, but I had mine for about 2 weeks. Just make sure your chocolate doesn’t touch anything else that could contaminate it and keep it in a sealed container.
can you mix the cookies into the chocolate and then spread it out in the pan instead of doing it separate or will it not come out good?
It’s a lot messier that way and the chocolate is hard to work with to keep it smooth.
Is that sweetened condensed milk or evaporated milk?
sweetened condensed milk
You know, all I wanna do is pick up one or 5 pieces and pop them in my mouth!!!!!! They look sooooooo amazing!!!! 🙂 I have alll the 3 ingredients at home .. So I’m definitely making these! 🙂
these are dangerously easy. Now I want to make all sorts of flavors!
YES! LOVE that this is so easy!
yes, give it a try
For those of us on the other side of the pound/metric types – how big a can of condensed milk are we talking about here? 10oz? 12oz? 14oz? 😉 Thanks in advance.
mine was a 14oz can.
This is not just something I want, it’s also something I need! Looks so good!
I really liked it!
I am on such a cookies & cream kick right now so these look amazing! Maybe too easy though, haha
I love cookies and cream stuff too. And I love how easy these were to make.
What a neat idea for the holidays. It couldn’t get any easier with just three ingredients!
I can’t wait to do a holiday version. Maybe add some green and red sprinkles
