Fudge Ingredients
- 1 (12 oz/340 g) bag white baking chips
- 1/3 cup (78 g) pumpkin puree, room temperature, or pumpkin butter (92 g)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to easily lift out the fudge later.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 15-30 second increments, stirring well between intervals until completely smooth and melted. Alternatively, melt the chips using a double boiler on the stove.
- Combine Pumpkin and Chocolate: Stir the room temperature pumpkin puree or pumpkin butter into the melted white chocolate until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored. Avoid using cold pumpkin as it will cause the chocolate to seize.
- Set the Fudge: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer until the surface feels firm to the touch.
- Cut and Serve: Once fully frozen, lift the fudge out using the parchment overhang and place on a cutting board. Cut into 1-inch squares using a sharp knife. The fudge should be creamy and soft even straight out of the freezer, especially when using pumpkin puree. Serve immediately or store frozen in an airtight container.
Notes
- Ensure the pumpkin or pumpkin butter is at room temperature before mixing to prevent the chocolate from hardening.
- This fudge is best eaten soon after removal from the freezer to avoid it becoming sticky and difficult to handle.
- If using pumpkin butter, the fudge might need a few minutes at room temperature to soften before cutting.
- Do not substitute white baking chips with white chocolate bars unless they are specifically designed for baking, as melting properties differ.
