Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure your fudge releases easily after setting.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
