Lemon Oreo Fudge Recipe

Introduction

This Lemon Oreo Fudge is a delightful twist on classic fudge, combining creamy white chocolate with zesty lemon flavor and crunchy Lemon Oreo cookies. It’s a quick and easy treat that’s perfect for gatherings or a sweet snack anytime.

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

1. Step 1: Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with waxed paper, allowing the paper to overhang on two opposite sides for easy removal.
2. Step 2: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
3. Step 3: Microwave the mixture for 1 minute, then stir and let the residual heat melt the chocolate further for 1 minute.
4. Step 4: Continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely smooth.
5. Step 5: Stir in lemon extract, chopped Lemon Oreo cookies, and a few drops of yellow food coloring until evenly combined.
6. Step 6: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press some additional chopped Lemon Oreos on top for extra texture.
7. Step 7: Let the fudge cool and harden completely before lifting it out using the waxed paper. Slice and serve.

Tips & Variations

• Use high-quality lemon extract for the brightest citrus flavor.
• For added texture, fold in some finely chopped nuts along with the Oreos.
• If you prefer a stronger yellow color, add food coloring gradually until you reach your desired shade.
• To make cutting easier, chill the fudge in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. If refrigerated, allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture. Fudge can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator before enjoying.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate?

This recipe works best with white chocolate, as it complements the lemon flavor. Using dark or milk chocolate will change the overall taste but can be tried for a different twist.

Can I make this fudge without a microwave?

Yes, you can melt the chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and butter using a double boiler on the stove. Stir constantly over low heat until smooth, then proceed with the rest of the recipe.

Notes

• Use melting chocolate wafers if you prefer smoother melting for the fudge.
• Adjust lemon extract to taste for a stronger or milder lemon flavor.
• If the fudge doesn’t set well, refrigerate it for about 1 hour to firm up.
• Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
• For easier removal, the waxed paper lining is key to lifting the fudge out without breaking.
