Why I Love This Recipe

This is one of those recipes that gives you big flavor payoff with almost no effort. It’s smooth and melt-in-your-mouth thanks to sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips, while the pudding mix gives it a unique flavor and lovely green tint. Chopped pistachios add the perfect crunch and contrast.

Bonus: It makes an amazing edible gift and stores beautifully!

Instructions

1. Prep Your Pan

Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

2. Melt Base

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly until smooth.

3. Add Flavor

Stir in the salt, almond extract (if using), and pistachio pudding mix. Mix well until fully incorporated.

4. Add the Crunch

Fold in the chopped pistachios until evenly distributed throughout the fudge.

5. Pour and Top

Pour the mixture into your prepared pan and smooth it out evenly.
Sprinkle extra pistachios on top and gently press them in.

6. Chill

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until firm enough to slice cleanly.

7. Serve

Lift out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Fudge

• Don’t overheat the chocolate—keep the heat low to avoid burning.
• Use instant pistachio pudding, not cook-and-serve.
• Try a pinch of sea salt flakes on top for a sweet-salty contrast.
• Want it greener? Add a drop of green food coloring for an extra pop.
