Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ⅓ cup salted butter
- ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1½ cups white chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice powder
- 2 handfuls mixed nuts optional, chopped
Instructions
- Place the butter, sweetened condensed milk, and white chocolate chips in a saucepan. Cook at medium-low heat until they are fully melted.
- Add the pumpkin puree to the butter mix, and stir well.
- Add the pumpkin spice powder to the mixture and mix well until you get a nice smooth brownish mixture.
- Continue cooking until the mixture reaches boiling point. Then you may want to lower the heat.
- Let it simmer and keep stirring every so often to prevent burning at the bottom of the pan.
- It takes approximately 7-10 minutes for the fudge to be fully ready and reaches 115℃/ 239℉. You can test it by dropping a tiny amount of the mixture into cold water. If it holds its shape, your pumpkin fudge is ready to mold.
- Now, take a small square tin (around 7 inches will do), and line it with parchment paper.
- Pour the fudge mixture onto the lined tin, and spread it as evenly as possible. Sprinkle some mixed nuts over the fudge. You can press them gently with the back of a spoon to make sure they are set in. Let it cool and fully set.

Notes
- Some butter has more water content than others. Make sure you choose the one with the least amount of water. Otherwise, the fudge will not set easily.
- As much as you are tempted to add more pumpkin into the mixture, you will have to be careful as it can affect how the fudge is set.
- Just like typical fudge making, you must ensure the mixture is thick. Do the test. And cook longer if the mixture is still runny and thin.
- You can omit the nuts if you like. And if you do use nuts, you can choose whichever nuts you prefer. Though Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, almonds, or pistachios are my favorites.
