Ingredients
3 cups white chocolate chips
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (3.4-ounce) package pistachio-flavored instant pudding mix (dry)
½ cup shelled pistachios, chopped (salted or unsalted)
Instructions
Prepare the pan. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil. Set aside.
Combine the ingredients. Place the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave-safe bowl.
Melt the chocolate. Microwave for 1 minute, then remove and stir well. Continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Add the pistachio flavor. Stir in the dry pistachio instant pudding mix until well combined. Gently fold in the chopped pistachios.
Spread into the pan. Transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle a few additional chopped pistachios over the top if desired.
Allow to set. Let the fudge firm up at room temperature for several hours, or place it in the refrigerator until completely set.
Cut and serve. Once firm, lift the fudge from the pan and cut into 16–25 squares.
Tips for Making Pistachio Fudge
Use instant pudding mix. Be sure to use pistachio-flavored instant pudding, not cook-and-serve pudding. Add the dry powder directly to the melted chocolate without preparing it first.
Salted pistachios add flavor. The slight saltiness balances the sweetness of the white chocolate.
Add extra pistachios on top. A sprinkle of chopped pistachios gives the fudge a pretty finish and a little extra crunch.
How to Store Pistachio Fudge
Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Place parchment paper between layers to prevent the pieces from sticking together.
For longer storage, freeze the fudge in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
