Introduction

This Lemon Oreo Fudge combines the creamy sweetness of white chocolate with the bright, tangy flavor of lemon and the satisfying crunch of Lemon Oreos. It’s a simple, no-bake treat that’s perfect for parties or a special dessert snack.

Ingredients

24 oz white chocolate chips (or melting chocolate wafers)
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
2 cups chopped Lemon Oreos
A few drops yellow food coloring

Instructions

Step 1: Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with waxed paper, allowing it to overhang on two opposite sides for easy removal of the fudge.
Step 2: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and unsalted butter.
Step 3: Microwave the mixture for 1 minute, then stir well for 1 minute to help melt the chocolate completely with residual heat.
Step 4: Continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring for 1 minute after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Step 5: Stir in the lemon extract, chopped Lemon Oreos, and a few drops of yellow food coloring until evenly combined.
Step 6: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and press additional chopped Lemon Oreos on top for extra texture and decoration.
Step 7: Allow the fudge to cool completely and harden at room temperature before slicing into squares and serving.

Tips & Variations

For a more intense lemon flavor, add a teaspoon of fresh lemon zest along with the extract.
Use white chocolate melting wafers for a smoother, quicker melt.
Substitute Lemon Oreos with regular Oreos for a classic chocolate-and-white-chocolate fudge.
Add a pinch of sea salt on top before cooling to balance the sweetness.

Storage

Store leftover fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Before slicing, let refrigerated fudge come to room temperature for easier cutting. Fudge can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

FAQs

Can I make this fudge without a microwave?

Yes, you can melt the white chocolate, condensed milk, and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring gently until smooth.

What if I don’t have lemon extract?

If you don’t have lemon extract, you can substitute with fresh lemon juice, but use sparingly to avoid altering the fudge’s texture. Alternatively, lemon zest can add natural lemon flavor without extra liquid.

Instructions

Notes

Make sure to use good quality white chocolate chips or melting wafers for a smooth texture and rich flavor.
Chopped Lemon Oreos can be adjusted to taste for more or less cookie crunch.
Use waxed paper or parchment paper for easier fudge removal and cleaner slices.
If you prefer a more intense lemon flavor, increase the lemon extract slightly, but be cautious to not overpower the sweetness.
Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
