Introduction

Lemon Oreo Fudge is a bright and indulgent treat that combines creamy white chocolate with zesty lemon flavor and crunchy Oreo pieces. This easy-to-make fudge is perfect for sharing at parties or enjoying as a sweet 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.
Step 2: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.
Step 3: Microwave the mixture for 1 minute. Stir well and allow the residual heat to continue melting the chocolate for about 1 minute.
Step 4: Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring for 1 minute after each, until the mixture is completely smooth.
Step 5: Stir in the lemon extract, chopped Lemon Oreos, and yellow food coloring until evenly combined.
Step 6: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Press additional chopped Lemon Oreos on top for decoration.
Step 7: Let the fudge cool and harden completely before using the overhanging waxed paper to lift it from the pan. Slice and serve.

Tips & Variations

Use high-quality white chocolate for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
Adjust the lemon extract amount to your taste for a more or less pronounced lemon flavor.
For a fun twist, try adding a teaspoon of poppy seeds to the mixture for extra texture.
If you don’t have yellow food coloring, omit it; the lemon extract will still provide great flavor.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If refrigerated, let it come to room temperature before slicing for best texture. You can also freeze the fudge for up to three months, thawing overnight in the fridge.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular Oreos instead of Lemon Oreos?

Yes, regular Oreos will work, but the fudge will have less of the bright lemon flavor. You might want to add a bit more lemon extract to balance it out.

Is it necessary to use waxed paper?

Waxed paper helps to lift the fudge easily out of the pan without sticking. You can also use parchment paper as an alternative.

Notes

Use high-quality white chocolate chips or melting wafers for the creamiest texture.
Ensure you microwave in short increments and stir often to prevent burning the chocolate.
Pressing extra Oreos on top adds a decorative touch and texture contrast.
Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
For a stronger lemon flavor, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract if desired.
