Step 1: Prepare the Pan

• Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

• Leave an overhang on the sides for easy fudge removal.

Step 2: Make the Vanilla Layer

• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine:

  • Sweetened condensed milk

  • White chocolate chips

  • Heavy cream

  • Vanilla extract

  • A pinch of salt

• Stir constantly until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.

Step 3: Set the Vanilla Base

• Pour the vanilla fudge mixture into the prepared pan.

• Smooth into an even layer.

• Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until firm.

Step 4: Make the Chocolate Layer

• In a clean saucepan, combine:

  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • Heavy cream

  • Unsalted butter

• Heat over medium-low, stirring until smooth and glossy.

• Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Step 5: Assemble the Fudge

• Pour the warm chocolate ganache over the chilled vanilla layer.

• Spread evenly with an offset spatula.

• Immediately sprinkle crushed cookies over the top and press gently into the surface.

Step 6: Chill and Slice

• Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes more or until fully set.

• Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using parchment overhang.

• Cut into 16 squares using a sharp knife.
