Ingredients
Units
Scale
- Chocolate Layer:
- 2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos, no filling)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Vanilla Layer:
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Strawberry Layer:
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon strawberry extract
- Pink or red gel food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a bowl, mix the crushed chocolate cookies with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the chocolate layer. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
- For the vanilla layer, heat sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour over the chilled cookie base and spread evenly. Return to the freezer for 15 minutes.
- For the strawberry layer, repeat the process: heat sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips, then remove from heat and stir in strawberry extract and food coloring. Pour over the chilled vanilla layer and smooth the top.
- Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
- Use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge from the pan and slice into squares. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for smooth, creamy layers.
- Customize the top layer with freeze-dried strawberries for texture and flavor.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
