Description
Pumpkin Fudge is a rich, creamy, and indulgent dessert that combines the comforting flavors of pumpkin pie with the decadence of classic fudge. Smooth, velvety, and perfectly spiced, it’s ideal for fall gatherings or as a cozy treat at home.
Ingredients
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Add Pumpkin and Spices: Remove from heat and stir in pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined.
- Add Toppings (Optional): Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the top of the fudge.
- Set the Fudge: Pour mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Slice and Serve: Lift fudge from pan using parchment overhang and cut into 16 squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Swirl in a tablespoon of caramel sauce for a caramel-pumpkin fudge twist.
Use dark or milk chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
Sprinkle sea salt on top before chilling for a sweet-and-salty version.
Leftover fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 2 months.
