Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
Pudding Mix:
- 1 package (4-serving size) instant pistachio pudding mix
Liquid:
- 1/3 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by lining an 8×8-inch square pan with aluminum foil, ensuring extended edges for effortless extraction of the fudge.
- Combine white chocolate chips, butter, and water in a microwave-safe container, creating a smooth base for the decadent treat.
- Heat the mixture in the microwave for approximately 1 minute, stirring until completely melted and uniform in texture. Perform an additional 30-second burst if needed to achieve perfect consistency.
- Incorporate the pistachio pudding mix into the molten chocolate blend, stirring until thoroughly integrated and creating a rich, creamy foundation.
- Gradually introduce powdered sugar, working it into the mixture in incremental portions to maintain a silky, dense texture that holds its shape.
- Gently fold chopped pistachios throughout the fudge, distributing the nutty elements evenly for a delightful crunch in every bite.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, using a spatula or clean hands to spread it uniformly and create a smooth, level surface.
- Refrigerate the fudge for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing it to solidify completely and develop its characteristic firm texture.
- Once set, extract the fudge from the pan by lifting the foil edges, carefully peel away the aluminum, and slice into precise, uniform squares using a sharp knife.
Notes
- Toast pistachios lightly before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor and add a delightful crunch to the fudge.
- Sift powdered sugar to prevent lumps and ensure a smoother, creamier texture in the final fudge.
- Use room temperature ingredients to help the chocolate melt more evenly and create a silkier consistency.
- For a gluten-free version, verify that the pistachio pudding mix is certified gluten-free before using.
