Pistachio Fudge requires no candy thermometer or special fudge making skills! Pudding mix adds instant pistachio flavor to this delicious and easy homemade fudge recipe.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- pinch of salt
- 3.5 oz pkg Instant pistachio pudding mix (powder only)
- 7oz Fluff (marshmallow cream)
- 11 oz white chocolate
- ¼ cup pistachios, shelled, chopped
- 8oz dark chocolate, melted
Instructions
- In large saucepan over medium high heat, mix butter, sugar, heavy cream and salt. Bring to a rolling boil. Set timer and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
- In large mixing bowl, add pudding mix, marshmallow cream and white chocolate. Pour boiling mixture over ingredients. Beat for about one minute until combined and chocolate is completely melted. Fold in pistachios.
- Pour into a 9inch parchment paper lined square dish.
- Melt dark chocolate (either using microwave or double boiler). Spread on top of fudge and let set for one hour until firm. Cut and enjoy.
Notes
- Set at room temperature: This fudge is best when you let it set on the counter top at room temperature.
- How to store: You can keep this fudge at room temperature in an airtight container. If you home is exceptionally warm, feel free to store it in the fridge just so it doesn't get too soft.
- Beat well: Be sure to thoroughly mix in the pudding with the marshmallow cream to get rid of any graininess. Likewise, use electric beaters or a stand mixer to incorporate the butter and cream mixture with the white chocolate and pudding.
- Slicing fudge: I prefer to leave the fudge uncut until ready to serve. Cut squares are more prone to drying out. Store the fudge covered, then cut into desired squares just before eating for best taste and least amount of waste.
