Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups white chocolate chips: The base of the fudge, providing sweetness and creaminess. High-quality white chocolate is essential for a smooth texture and rich flavor.
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk: Acts as a sweetener and a binding agent, helping the fudge set while enriching its taste.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed: Adds richness and creaminess to the fudge, allowing for smooth melting and blending with other ingredients.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Enhances the overall flavor, providing a warm undertone that complements the sweetness of the fudge.
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, chopped: Offers crunch and a distinctive nutty flavor, making the fudge more interesting both to the palate and visually.
- A pinch of salt: Balances the sweetness of the fudge, enhancing all flavors.
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line a square baking dish with parchment paper. This ensures easy removal of the fudge once it has set and allows for clean cutting.
- Melt the chocolate mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups white chocolate chips, 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, and 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed. Stir continuously until the mixture is melted and smooth.
- Add additional flavors: Once the mixture is smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and 3/4 cup of the chopped pistachios. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Spread the mixture: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Ensure it reaches the corners for even thickness.
- Add finishing touches: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup pistachios on top of the fudge, gently pressing them into the surface to secure them as it sets.
- Chill and set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
- Cut and enjoy: Once set, carefully remove the fudge from the baking dish using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy your homemade pistachio fudge!
