This dessert blends the nostalgic childhood delight of cookie dough with the luxurious indulgence of fudge. No baking required for the fudge itself, only a little heat-treatment of the flour to make the cookie dough safe — making it simple, safe, and utterly decadent.

Ingredients

(Makes about 25 squares)

For the Fudge Base:

  • 2½ cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Cookie Dough:

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated*)
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

*To heat-treat flour: Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 175°C (350°F) for 5 minutes. Let cool completely. This kills any harmful bacteria.

Method / Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Dough

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and heat-treated flour.
  2. Add mini chocolate chips and mix well.
  3. Stir in 1 tbsp of butter and a splash of vanilla extract if desired, to form a soft, slightly sticky dough.
  4. Set aside while you prepare the fudge.

Step 2: Make the Fudge Base

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tbsp butter.
  2. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract for extra flavor.

Step 3: Combine Fudge and Cookie Dough

  1. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Spread half of the warm fudge mixture into the pan.
  3. Evenly crumble or layer the cookie dough over the fudge.
  4. Pour the remaining fudge on top and gently swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

  1. Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours or until firm.
  2. Cut into squares and serve. Optional: sprinkle extra mini chocolate chips on top for decoration.

History & Fun Facts

Fudge has been a beloved candy in America since the late 1800s, often associated with sweet shops and home kitchens. Cookie dough, on the other hand, has long been a treat that people loved sneaking before baking cookies. Combining the two is a modern twist on nostalgic favorites — bringing together the creamy texture of fudge with the chewy, chocolatey bite of cookie dough. It’s the perfect dessert for both kids and adults, appealing to those who love a rich, comforting sweet.

Tips & Tricks for Lovers of Dessert

  • Creamier fudge: Use high-quality white chocolate and don’t overheat.
  • Extra chocolatey: Mix in milk or dark chocolate chips with the white chocolate base.
  • Flavor variations: Add a pinch of salt, or swirl in peanut butter for a decadent twist.
  • Presentation: Serve chilled with a dusting of cocoa or sprinkles for festive occasions.
