Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 ounces (680 grams) white chocolate chips
- 8 ounces (237 milliliters) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 ½ tablespoons (37.5 milliliters) 100% pumpkin puree
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves
Instructions
- Prepare a metal baking vessel by carefully lining it with parchment paper, allowing extra material to extend beyond the edges for convenient extraction of the finished confection.
- Select a robust saucepan with heavy bottom to prevent potential scorching during the melting process.
- Combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in the saucepan, utilizing low thermal intensity to gradually dissolve the ingredients.
- Continuously whisk the mixture, ensuring smooth integration and preventing potential burning at the bottom of the cookware.
- Remove the pan from heat once the chocolate and milk transform into a uniform, glossy liquid without any visible lumps.
- Introduce pumpkin puree into the molten mixture, stirring with deliberate, sweeping motions to guarantee even distribution.
- Incorporate warming spices like ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, blending thoroughly to create a harmonious flavor profile.
- Gently fold in vanilla extract, which will enhance the overall aromatic complexity of the confection.
- Transfer the velvety mixture into the prepared receptacle, using a flexible spatula to spread the contents evenly and eliminate potential air pockets.
- Place the pan in the refrigeration unit, allowing the fudge to solidify and develop its characteristic dense texture for approximately four to five hours.
- Once completely chilled and set, extract the fudge by lifting the parchment paper edges.
- Slice the confection into precise, uniform squares using a sharp knife warmed under hot water to ensure clean cuts.
- Serve the pumpkin fudge at a cool room temperature to optimize flavor and textural experience.
Notes
- Prepare a workspace with all ingredients measured and ready to streamline the fudge-making process.
- Aluminum foil creates a non-stick surface and helps lift the fudge cleanly from the pan without breaking.
- Stirring condensed milk prevents clumping and ensures a silky-smooth texture throughout the fudge.
- White chocolate melts best under gentle, consistent heat to avoid scorching or separating.
