Tips for Making the Best Cookie Dough Fudge

To ensure your Cookie Dough Fudge turns out perfectly every time, be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Using a kitchen scale can help you achieve precise measurements, especially with ingredients like flour and butter. This will lead to a better texture and flavor balance in your fudge.

Another tip is to let the fudge set in the refrigerator for the full two hours, or longer if you have the time. This allows the layers to meld together beautifully and enhances the overall flavor. If you're short on time, a quick chill in the freezer can work in a pinch, but be careful not to freeze it solid!

Storage and Serving Suggestions

Once your Cookie Dough Fudge is ready, you might wonder about the best way to store it. Keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it can last for up to two weeks. If you want to keep it fresh for a longer period, consider freezing individual squares. Just be sure to layer parchment paper between the squares to prevent sticking.

When it comes to serving this delicious fudge, you can cut it into small squares for a perfect bite-sized treat. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience. You can also drizzle it with chocolate sauce or sprinkle some sea salt on top for a gourmet touch.

Make the Cookie Dough

Prepare the Fudge Layer

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.

Assemble the Fudge

Pour half of the fudge mixture into a lined 8x8 inch baking dish. Spread evenly. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the fudge layer, then pour the remaining fudge on top. Use a spatula to smooth out the top.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set. Once firm, cut into squares and enjoy!

Nutritional Information

While Cookie Dough Fudge is definitely a treat, it's worth noting that it can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Each square is packed with flavors but should be consumed mindfully, especially if you're watching your sugar intake.

For those who are concerned about calories, consider cutting smaller squares or serving them alongside fresh fruits. This not only balances the sweetness but also adds a nutritional component to your dessert.

Variations to Try

Feel free to get creative with your Cookie Dough Fudge! You can swap in different types of chocolate chips, such as white chocolate or dark chocolate, to change the flavor profile. Adding nuts like walnuts or pecans can also introduce a nice crunch.

For a fun twist, incorporate flavored extracts like almond or peppermint into the cookie dough or fudge layers. This can give your treat a unique spin and make it even more enjoyable.

Frequently Asked Questions

One common question is whether it’s safe to eat the raw cookie dough in this recipe. Since this fudge uses heat-treated flour, it is safe to consume. However, if you’re concerned, you can substitute the flour with almond flour or oat flour, which doesn’t need to be baked.

Another frequently asked question is how to tell when the fudge is set. It should feel firm to the touch and hold its shape when cut. If it’s still soft after chilling, give it a little more time in the fridge to firm up.
