Ingredients
- 4 cups white chocolate chips (24 ounces by weight)
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (8 ounces by liquid measure)
- 2½ tablespoons 100% pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon cloves
Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Measure out all your ingredients in advance to ensure smooth preparation.
2. Melt the Base
- In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
- Place the pan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Reduce heat to low to prevent scorching.
3. Add Pumpkin and Spices
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- Mix thoroughly until the fudge is evenly combined, and the mixture takes on a warm, spiced aroma.
4. Pour and Set
- Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Tap the pan gently on the counter to eliminate any air bubbles and ensure a smooth top.
5. Chill and Slice
- Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.
- Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and slice into bite-sized squares.
Notes
- Storage: Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
- Freezing: Wrap individual pieces of fudge in parchment paper and place them in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying.
- Customization: Feel free to adjust the spices to your taste for a more personalized flavor.
