Ingredients

Essential Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (135g) white chocolate chips
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) butter
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) water
  • 1 package (3.4 oz / 96g) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup (60g) shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Melt the white chocolate and butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and butter. Heat in short intervals of 20-30 seconds, stirring well between each until completely melted and smooth.
  2. Add the liquid ingredients: Pour in the water and mix thoroughly to combine with the melted chocolate and butter, creating a smooth base mixture.
  3. Incorporate instant pistachio pudding mix: Stir the instant pistachio pudding mix into the wet ingredients until fully blended and thickened, forming a soft batter.
  4. Add powdered sugar: Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, stirring steadily until the mixture becomes firm enough to hold shape but still pliable.
  5. Fold in the pistachios: Gently mix the roughly chopped pistachios into the fudge batter, distributing the nuts evenly throughout.
  6. Set the fudge: Line a square baking dish with parchment paper. Spread the fudge mixture evenly into the dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Chill until firm: Place the dish into the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the fudge is completely set and firm.
  8. Cut and serve: Remove fudge from the dish using the parchment paper lifts. Cut into small squares and serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For best results, use high-quality white chocolate chips to achieve a rich, creamy texture.
  • Ensure the pistachios are fresh and roughly chopped to provide a pleasant crunch.
  • You can add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness if desired.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Allow fudge to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly.
