Tips for Success

To achieve the best results, ensure that you use high-quality chocolate chips for the fudge layer. The better the chocolate, the richer the flavor of your finished product. Additionally, don't skip the step of heat-treating the flour in the cookie dough. This process eliminates any potential bacteria, making it safe to consume raw.

When assembling the fudge, take your time to create the marbled effect. Swirling the layers together not only enhances the visual appeal but also ensures that each piece has a balanced distribution of both fudge and cookie dough.

Ingredients

For the Fudge

2 cups chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter

For the Cookie Dough

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Prepare the Fudge Layer

In a saucepan over low heat, combine chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Stir until melted and smooth.

Prepare the Cookie Dough

In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Gradually incorporate the heat-treated flour and salt until combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips.

Assemble the Fudge

Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper. Pour half of the fudge mixture into the pan, followed by dollops of cookie dough, and then top with the remaining fudge. Swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.

Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Storage Tips

To keep your Cookie Dough Fudge fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can last for up to two weeks, though it's unlikely to last that long once you start sharing it! If you want to keep it even longer, consider freezing it. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil before placing it in the freezer.

When you're ready to enjoy your frozen fudge, simply remove it from the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours. This will ensure that the texture remains soft and creamy, just like when it was first made.

Serving Suggestions

Cookie Dough Fudge can be served as is or dressed up for special occasions. Consider drizzling some melted chocolate over the top before slicing for an extra touch of elegance. You might also sprinkle some sea salt on top to enhance the flavors and provide a contrasting crunch.

For a fun twist, serve your fudge with a scoop of ice cream or alongside fresh berries. The combination of warm fudge and cold ice cream creates a delightful contrast that will elevate your dessert experience.
