Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz / 397 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate)
- ½ cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- ¼ cup (57 g) unsalted butter
- 3–4 drops green food coloring (optional, for color)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract (optional, enhances pistachio flavor)
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Arrange parchment paper in an 8×8-inch baking dish, ensuring excess paper hangs over edges for effortless removal.
- Chocolate Melting: Combine white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second increments and stirring until completely smooth and silky.
- Flavor Infusion: Incorporate vanilla extract, almond extract, salt, and food coloring, whisking thoroughly to create a uniform, vibrant mixture.
- Nutty Incorporation: Gently fold chopped pistachios into the melted chocolate base, reserving a small portion for decorative topping.
- Setting and Chilling: Transfer the creamy mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface evenly and sprinkling reserved pistachios across the top for added texture and visual appeal.
- Cooling Process: Refrigerate the fudge for 2-3 hours until it becomes firm and fully set.
- Serving: Remove the fudge from the pan using parchment paper, slice into delicate bite-sized squares, and serve chilled for a delightful treat.
Notes
- Use low microwave power or double boiler method to prevent chocolate from burning or separating, ensuring smooth and creamy texture.
- Adjust almond extract quantity based on personal preference; start with small amounts to avoid overpowering the delicate pistachio taste.
- Refrigerate fudge completely for precise cutting and best texture; avoid cutting before fully set to maintain clean, sharp edges.
- Gently fold pistachios to prevent breaking them and distribute evenly throughout fudge for consistent crunch and flavor in every bite.
