Rich, thick, and loaded with Oreo cookie pieces, Oreo fudge is a melt-in-your-mouth treat. With just 10 minutes of prep time, the hardest part is waiting for the fudge to chill before you can eat it.
Serve your fudge on a dessert tray with other fudge recipes like Reese’s Peanut Butter Fudge or spiced gingerbread fudge. Or enjoy it with other Oreo treats, like an Oreo milkshake.
Homemade Oreo fudge is a creamy fudge made with cream cheese, Oreo pieces, and creamy white chocolate. This easy fudge is a delight to make for a bake sale, holiday, or last-minute treat. It’s also perfect for gifting.
Oreo Fudge Ingredients
- Cream cheese
- Sugar - confectioner's sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Chocolate - white chocolate
- Cookies - Oreo cookies
What’s great about Oreos is that there are so many Oreo flavors to choose from. You can get a package of spring or winter Oreos to make this sweet white fudge festive for different holidays. You can also try different flavors, like peanut butter Oreos for a fun alternative instead of the classic Oreo flavor.
The easiest way to break the Oreos is in a Ziploc bag with a rolling pin. For this fudge recipe you aren’t looking for fine crumbs, but rather chunks, so it should not take long to break them into large pieces.
To make the fudge easier to cut later, you can lightly score the top with a sharp knife before chilling. Lining the pan with parchment paper also allows you to easily remove this perfect fudge from the square pan to slice.
How to Make Oreo Fudge
FIRST STEP: In the bowl of your mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and no lumps remain.
SECOND STEP: In the top of a double boiler (or just a glass bowl set over a pot) over lightly simmering water, heat white chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth.
THIRD STEP: Stir the melted white chocolate and ¾ of the Oreo cookies into the cream cheese mixture.
FOURTH STEP: Spread into a parchment-lined small baking dish (8×8 if you have one). Press the remaining cookies into the top of the fudge to make it look pretty.
FIFTH STEP: Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours before cutting.
SIXTH STEP: Slice into small squares. This stuff is rich but oh-so-good!
Can I use generic chocolate sandwich cookies instead of Oreos?
Certainly! This easy fudge recipe will work with either name-brand Oreos or generic.
How long will this Oreo fudge last?
You can store the homemade fudge either on the counter at room temperature or in the fridge for 1 to 2 weeks. This recipe will also freeze well if you wrap each piece individually and then place them into a large plastic bag or airtight container. But this fudge is so good it will probably get eaten before then!
How do I slice chilled fudge easily?
To make slicing your fudge easier, dip a large sharp flat knife in boiling water, dry it completely, and cut one long slice. The heat will help the blade to glide through the fudge.
How to Store Oreo Fudge
ON THE COUNTER/IN THE FRIDGE: Oreo fudge can be stored in an airtight container either in the fridge or at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks.
IN THE FREEZER: This easy fudge recipe will also freeze well if you wrap each piece individually and then place them into a large plastic bag or airtight container. Thaw the fudge by keeping it out to sit at room temperature for a few hours.

We tried this recipe as a test for our Christmas baskets. It’s very thick, we added a couple splashes of heavy cream to make it more pliable. We didn’t top with the Oreos, as it was already very rich. Very easy recipe to make, just needed a tweaking to make it more to our liking. We’ll either cut back on the powdered sugar or add some cream again. Very delicious, rich fudge.
