This is such an easy way to make fudge of any flavour. Use different extracts and colours to make strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, rum, orange - any flavour you like. You don't even need the biscuit base. I used it because this was originally my Grasshopper Pie Fudge recipe

Ingredients

1 mins
  1. 50 gramsbourbon cream biscuits or oreo cookies - roughly 5 cookies, my free-from recipe link is below
  2. 450 gramsstiff buttercream frosting - don't make it too loose. The Betty Crocker brand of vanilla buttercream style frosting is free from gluten, dairy, egg & soy
  3. 340 gramswhite chocolate, see my free-from recipe link below
  4. 2 tspmint extract
  5. green gel food colouring

Cooking Instructions

1 mins
  1. 1

    Put the cookies in a ziplock bag, press the air out, seal it and then beat it with a rolling pin to break them into crumbs. You can use a food processor if you prefer

  2. 2

    Line a swiss roll or jelly roll tin with parchment paper

  3. 3

    Pat the cookie crumbs evenly into the bottom of the tin

  4. 4

    Put the buttercream in a large mixing bowl. I would use 350g/12oz butter (gold foil wrapped Stork block margarine is dairy & soy-free) to 675g/1.5lbs powdered sugar if I was making my own for this

  5. 5

    Mix in the mint extract and a little gel green to make the buttercream a pale pastel green colour

  6. 6

    Melt the broken chocolate in a microwaveable bowl on high in 30 second increments until done or over a bain marie on the stove

  7. 7

    Stir it into the buttercream and mix well, it'll start to stiffen very quickly

  8. 8

    Spoon the mixture over the cookie crumb base and smooth over the top with a wet spoon

  9. 9

    Top with some chocolate strands if you like. The Dr Oetker ones are free-from. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour

  10. 10

    Cut into squares and serve
