Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups (12 ounces / 340 grams) white chocolate melting wafers
- 5 tablespoons condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
Optional Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- Food coloring: a few drops of orange gel food color (optional)
- Mix-ins: walnuts, raisins, sprinkles, etc. (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the muffin tin: Line a regular muffin tin with paper liners, using only six. Set it aside to use later for the fudge cups.
- Melt chocolate mixture: Combine the white chocolate melting wafers and condensed milk in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mixture in 20-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Stir to smooth: Stir well after each microwaving interval. The residual heat will continue to melt the chocolate gently, preventing overheating or separation.
- Add pumpkin and mix-ins: Stir in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice, chopped walnuts or pecans (if using), and a few drops of orange gel food coloring to the melted chocolate mixture until smooth and well combined.
- Chill the fudge: Pour the finished mixture into the lined muffin cups. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until the fudge has cooled and hardened.
- Serve: Once fully set, remove the fudge from the muffin tin and serve immediately or store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for best color results without altering the fudge texture.
- The fudge can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite mix-ins such as raisins, sprinkles, or different nuts.
- Ensure pumpkin puree is unsweetened to maintain balance in sweetness.
