Base Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Nuts
- 1 cup roasted pistachios, chopped (reserve some for topping)
- Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure your fudge releases easily after setting.
- Melt the Base Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, gently melt white chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and sweetened condensed milk together over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined without any lumps.
- Add Flavor Enhancements: Remove the pan from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Then, fold in most of the roasted pistachios, reserving some for topping.
- Pour and Chill: Pour the smooth fudge mixture evenly into the prepared pan, spreading it out with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved pistachios on top for added crunch and visual appeal. Place the pan in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours until firm.
- Cut and Serve: Once set, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut into small squares or desired shapes with a sharp knife, and serve or package as a gift.
Notes
- Use quality white chocolate for better melting and richer taste.
- Melt ingredients slowly on low heat to avoid burning or seizing.
- Chop pistachios evenly to distribute crunch and flavor consistently.
- Chill fudge thoroughly to achieve the perfect solid yet creamy texture.
- Allow fudge to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing to prevent cracking.
