Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- A pinch of salt
Nuts
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to easily lift out the fudge once set.
- Melt Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring well after each interval until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Add Flavors: Stir in the vanilla extract, almond extract, and a pinch of salt to enhance the fudge’s flavor profile.
- Incorporate Nuts: Fold the chopped pistachios gently into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Pour Mixture: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
- Garnish: Sprinkle additional chopped pistachios on top of the fudge, pressing them lightly into the surface for decoration and extra crunch.
- Chill to Set: Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the fudge is firm enough to cut.
- Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the dish. Cut into 16 squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of pistachios to your preference; you can toast them lightly for a deeper flavor.
- If you don’t have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate and condensed milk over a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- To cut clean squares, warm the knife under hot water and wipe it dry before slicing.
