This creamy and rich Pistachio Fudge combines smooth white chocolate with crunchy pistachios for an irresistible treat. Easy to make with simple ingredients, it’s perfect for festive occasions or a sweet snack anytime. The fudge is chilled to set, resulting in a luscious, melt-in-your-mouth texture with a hint of vanilla and a vibrant, optional green color.

Ingredients

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

  1. Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to easily lift the fudge out later.
  2. Melt chocolate and milk: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously to ensure the mixture melts evenly and becomes smooth without burning.
  3. Add flavor and nuts: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, and the roughly chopped pistachios. If you want a festive touch, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
  4. Pour and spread the fudge: Pour the smooth fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, creating a flat surface.
  5. Chill to set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing the fudge to fully set and firm up.
  6. Slice and serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the dish. Cut into 16 equal squares, serve, and enjoy your homemade pistachio fudge!

Notes

  • Ensure to stir continuously while melting to prevent the white chocolate from scorching.
  • For a smoother texture, use finely chopped pistachios or pulse them briefly in a food processor.
  • Green food coloring is optional but adds a festive look especially for holidays.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Let the fudge sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier biting.
