This Mint Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream Fudge is my take on the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream flavor Topped Thick Mint but in fudge form.
“This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions, bad grammar, and overuse of emoji’s are 100% mine.”
For this particular post I used Dixie Crystals Sugar which I received for free to use in this recipe but no financial compensation was provided.
Summer Dessert Week continues on and I made Mint Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream Fudge in honor of the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream flavor Topped Thick Mint.
It’s an evolution of the flavor Mint Chocolate Cookie which I pretty much lived on in college.
See, I was a Resident Advisor and I got free room and board.
But somehow my parents didn’t feel the meal plan I chose was good enough and so they always put extra money on my card.
So much so that at the end of each year I would buy my residents tons of snacks during finals.
Because if I didn’t use the money on the Flex card it would go away and get wasted.
But each week, or more than once a week, I bought Mint Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream at the little store they had on campus.
I’m sure it’s part of my Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior 15. 🙂
This fudge has a mint and vanilla soft serve white chocolate base.
Then Oreo pieces folded in.
Dipped in semisweet chocolate just like the new version has a fudge top.
Keys to Successful Fudge:
Have a thermometer. I don’t like the old fashioned ones that you clip to the side. Those never work for me. I like digital and use this one.
Use Baker’s sugar. Also known as caster or superfine sugar.
I don’t always follow my own rule because I don’t always have it on hand but it makes for a less gritty fudge.
If you don’t have it you can run the sugar through a dry blender or food processor to make it superfine.
Use good butter. Preferably European. They higher the butterfat content the better.
Cheaper butter often has too much water in it and will cause your fudge to separate.
Same goes for your chocolate.
The cheaper the chocolate the more likely it is to separate. If using chips I tend to use Guittard.
And when making extra special fudge I used TCHO.
P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!

- For the Chocolate Coating:

Instructions
- For the Fudge:

- Add the marshmallow crème and mix until well blended.
- Add the vanilla soft serve mix, mint extract, and green food gel and mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Stir in the Oreo pieces.
- Pour mixture into the prepared pan and use an offset spatula to smooth and even out the top.
- Let cool to room temperature.
- Then lift out of the pan and onto a cutting board.
- Cut into whatever amount you want.
- Combine the chocolate and oil in a medium heat-proof bowl set over a medium saucepan of barely simmering water; stir until melted and smooth.
- Transfer to a small bowl, and let cool about 15 minutes.
- Dip the top of each piece of cut fudge into the chocolate.
