Introduction

This Lemon Oreo Fudge combines the creamy sweetness of white chocolate with the bright, zesty flavor of lemon and the delightful crunch of Lemon Oreos. It’s an easy no-bake treat perfect for parties, gifts, or a special homemade dessert.

Ingredients

24 oz white chocolate chips (or melting chocolate wafers)
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoon 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 the paper 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, then stir well to use residual heat to melt remaining chocolate.
Step 4: Continue microwaving in additional 30-second increments, stirring for 1 minute after each, until the mixture is completely smooth.
Step 5: Stir in the lemon extract, chopped Lemon Oreos, and a few drops of yellow food coloring until evenly mixed.
Step 6: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, then press extra chopped Lemon Oreos on top for added texture.
Step 7: Allow the fudge to cool and harden completely at room temperature before slicing into squares and serving.

Tips & Variations

For a stronger lemon flavor, add a little more lemon extract or zest from a fresh lemon.
Use light or white melting wafers for smoother texture and easier melting.
To make the fudge more colorful, increase the yellow food coloring gradually until you reach your desired shade.
Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before the fudge sets for a sweet-salty contrast.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. If refrigerated, bring to room temperature before serving for best texture. The fudge can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge overnight before slicing.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular Oreos instead of Lemon Oreos?

Yes, you can substitute regular Oreos if you prefer a classic chocolate cookie flavor, but it will change the lemony taste of the fudge.

What if I don’t have lemon extract?

If you don’t have lemon extract, you can use fresh lemon zest or a small amount of lemon juice, but be careful not to add too much liquid as it may affect the fudge’s texture.
