Easy Pistachio Fudge Recipe

Easy Pistachio Fudge Recipe


  • Author: Jasmine
  • Total Time: hours 20 minutes (including chilling)

Ingredients

  • 3 cups white chocolate chips (high-quality for best results)

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups shelled pistachios (unsalted, roughly chopped)

  • Green food coloring (optional, for a vibrant look)

  • Pinch of salt (to enhance flavors)


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Pan

Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang on the sides. This will make it easier to lift the fudge out once it’s set.

Step 2: Melt the White Chocolate

In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3: Add Flavor and Color

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If you’d like a vibrant green color, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until evenly distributed.

Step 4: Incorporate Pistachios

Fold in 1 cup of the chopped pistachios into the fudge mixture, reserving the remaining ½ cup for topping. Stir until the nuts are evenly distributed.

Step 5: Set the Fudge

Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of chopped pistachios on top, gently pressing them into the fudge.

Step 6: Chill and Set

Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2-3 hours, or until it’s firm. Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into small squares.
