Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 ounces/400 grams) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1.5 cups mint Oreos, roughly chopped
Flavoring and Color:
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Green food coloring (optional)
Garnish:
- Crushed candy canes (optional)
- Extra chopped mint Oreos for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare a festive foundation by lining an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring overhang for effortless fudge extraction.
- Create a silky base by melting white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring consistently until achieving a uniform, glossy consistency.
- Infuse holiday spirit by removing the melted mixture from heat and incorporating peppermint extract, then optionally introducing green food coloring for a vibrant Christmas-themed appearance.
- Enhance texture by gently folding chopped Mint Oreos throughout the fudge mixture, distributing them evenly to ensure each bite contains delightful cookie fragments.
- Transfer the luxurious mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to smooth the surface and sprinkle additional chopped Mint Oreos and crushed candy canes for a festive decorative touch.
- Allow the fudge to solidify by refrigerating for 2-3 hours at 40°F, ensuring it becomes completely firm and compact.
- Finalize the treat by lifting the set fudge from the pan using parchment paper edges, then slicing into bite-sized squares ready for indulgence.
Notes
- Customize Coloring Experiment with different food coloring shades to match your holiday theme, from soft mint green to vibrant festive emerald.
- Texture Tip Chop Mint Oreos into varying sizes for a more interesting mouthfeel, with some chunks providing delightful crunch and others blending smoothly into the fudge.
- Storage Strategy Keep the fudge refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week, ensuring maximum freshness and preventing potential texture changes from room temperature exposure.
- Dietary Adaptation For a gluten-free version, substitute regular Mint Oreos with gluten-free mint chocolate sandwich cookies, maintaining the same delicious flavor profile.
