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)

  • 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.
