Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Base

  • 4 cups white chocolate chips (24 ounces, weight not liquid)
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (8 ounces, liquid)

Flavorings

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons 100% pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon cloves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8 inch pan with aluminum foil to prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the fudge once set.
  2. Stir condensed milk: Open the can of sweetened condensed milk and stir thoroughly to recombine any separated parts, ensuring a smooth consistency for the fudge.
  3. Melt chocolate and condensed milk: Combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a heatproof bowl over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and fully blended. Alternatively, microwave in 1 minute at half power, stirring well, then continue microwaving in 30 second intervals, stirring until the mixture is thick and fully combined.
  4. Add pumpkin and spices: Stir in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until the mixture is uniform and richly scented.
  5. Pour and chill: Pour the fudge mixture evenly into the lined pan and spread it out smoothly.
  6. Refrigerate to set: Chill the fudge in the refrigerator for at least four hours until firm. Once set, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate mixture to prevent burning or seizing.
  • Make sure to line the pan well for easy removal and clean-up.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a firmer fudge, chill overnight.
  • If white chocolate is difficult to melt smoothly in the microwave, use the stovetop melting method for better control.
