This Pistachio Fudge is a creamy, rich, and decadent dessert made with white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk, enhanced with crunchy chopped pistachios and a hint of vanilla. Perfectly chilled until set, this fudge is easy to prepare and makes a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Fudge Base

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips (about 12 oz)
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Green food coloring (optional, for color)

Add-ins

  • 1 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal of the fudge later.
  2. Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted, making sure it does not burn.
  3. Add Flavors and Nuts: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and the roughly chopped pistachios. If you want to give the fudge a festive touch, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix well.
  4. Set the Fudge: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly.
  5. Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is completely set and firm.
  6. Cut and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to carefully lift the fudge out of the dish. Cut into 16 squares using a sharp knife and serve.

Notes

  • Use a low and steady heat to melt the chocolate and condensed milk to avoid burning or curdling.
  • Chopping pistachios roughly adds a nice texture contrast, but you can finely chop them if you prefer a smoother consistency.
  • Green food coloring is optional and mainly for aesthetic purposes to highlight the pistachio flavor.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for up to one week.
  • For easier cutting, warm the knife under hot water and wipe dry before slicing.
