Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups white chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
- 1 cup shelled pistachios (unsalted, lightly chopped or whole)
- 1–2 drops green gel food coloring (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- PREPARE THE PAN: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the edges to overhang for easy removal later.
- MELT THE CHOCOLATE: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- ADD FLAVOR AND COLOR: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Add 1–2 drops of green food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
- ADD PISTACHIOS: Fold in ¾ cup of the pistachios, setting aside the remaining ¼ cup for topping.
- POUR AND TOP: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved pistachios over the top and press them gently into the surface so they adhere.
- CHILL TO SET: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or overnight, until the fudge is completely firm.
- SLICE AND SERVE: Use the parchment overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges.
Notes
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For best results, use high-quality white chocolate chips.
- Adjust food coloring to achieve your desired shade of green.
