Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 15 oz canned pumpkin puree
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Grease or line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of the fudge once set.
  2. Combine the Ingredients: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, and white chocolate chips. Stir constantly until the mixture is completely smooth and melted, about a few minutes.
  3. Add Spices and Flavor: Stir in the pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt until evenly incorporated, enhancing the warm, fall-inspired flavor profile.
  4. Pour the Mixture: Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles and level the surface.
  5. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is firm enough to cut into squares.

Notes

  • Use low heat and stir constantly to prevent white chocolate from seizing and ensure a smooth texture.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the fudge to set properly before slicing.
  • Can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator for freshness.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, substitute sweetened condensed milk with coconut or evaporated milk.
  • Try topping the fudge with chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
  • Adjust spices to preference by substituting pumpkin pie spice with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
