Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- A pinch of salt
Add-ins and Garnish
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang to help lift the fudge out later.
- Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring well each time, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt to enhance the overall flavor of the fudge.
- Incorporate Pistachios: Gently fold the chopped pistachios into the melted chocolate mixture to evenly distribute the nuts.
- Pour and Spread: Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
- Add Garnish: Sprinkle additional chopped pistachios on top and press them lightly into the fudge to secure.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until it becomes firm and set.
- Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the dish, cut into 16 small squares, and enjoy.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure the fudge is fully chilled before cutting to get clean squares.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can substitute almonds or cashews for pistachios if preferred.
- This fudge is naturally gluten-free but always check your ingredients if serving to those with gluten sensitivities.
