Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3.4 oz / 96 g) instant pistachio pudding mix
- 3 cups (360 g) powdered sugar
- ¾ cup (180 ml) white chocolate chips
- 6 tbsps (85 g) butter
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) water
- ½ cup (60 g) shelled pistachios
Instructions
- Preparation: Line an 8×8 square baking pan with aluminum foil, creating overhangs for easy removal of the fudge after setting.
- Melting: Combine white chocolate chips, butter, and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
- Mixing: Whisk instant pistachio pudding mix into the molten chocolate base, creating a vibrant green mixture with consistent color and texture.
- Incorporation: Gradually fold in powdered sugar, blending thoroughly to eliminate lumps and achieve a silky, uniform consistency.
- Nutty Addition: Gently fold shelled pistachios throughout the fudge mixture, ensuring even distribution for consistent nutty flavor in each bite.
- Setting: Pour the creamy mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula for an even finish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until completely firm.
- Serving: Remove the set fudge from the pan using foil overhangs, peel away the foil, and slice into precise, bite-sized squares using a sharp knife.
Notes
- Foil Lining Technique: Create generous foil overhangs to easily remove fudge without breaking or damaging delicate pieces.
- Microwave Melting Wisdom: Heat chocolate in short intervals and stir frequently to prevent burning and achieve smooth, glossy texture.
- Pudding Mix Magic: Instant pistachio pudding transforms ordinary fudge into a vibrant green dessert with intense flavor without extra ingredients.
- Precise Chilling Requirement: Refrigerate for minimum 2 hours to ensure fudge sets completely, developing perfect sliceable consistency and rich taste.
