Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips (about 12 oz)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Green food coloring (optional, for color)
Instructions
- 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.
- Melt the Chocolate Mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously to ensure the mixture melts smoothly without burning, until fully combined.
- Add Flavor and Nuts: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and the chopped pistachios. If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix well for color.
- Pour into Dish: Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into all corners for uniform thickness.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is completely firm and set.
- Cut and Serve: Once firm, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 equal squares for serving.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- For a more festive look, use green food coloring sparingly to achieve a pastel pistachio shade.
- Ensure the heat is low when melting the mixture to prevent scorching the white chocolate.
- Feel free to toast the pistachios lightly before chopping to enhance their flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- This fudge can be cut into different shapes or sizes according to preference.
