Why You’ll Love This White Chocolate Pumpkin Fudge

This recipe is a game-changer when it comes to no-bake desserts. It’s fuss-free, customizable, and sets beautifully. The white chocolate pairs so well with warm pumpkin spice that it feels like a decadent pumpkin pie in fudge form. You can keep it classic or jazz it up with chopped pecans or a swirl of caramel.

It also travels well, making it an ideal homemade gift during the holidays. The creamy texture and fragrant spices are always a hit with guests, and it’s just different enough to surprise and delight even the most seasoned sweet tooth.

Can I Use Fresh Pumpkin Instead of Canned?

While canned pumpkin puree is highly recommended for consistent texture and moisture, you can absolutely use fresh pumpkin if it’s been roasted and pureed until smooth. Just be sure it isn’t watery, or your fudge might not set properly. Avoid pumpkin pie filling, which includes added sugars and spices that could throw off the flavor balance.

Ingredients for the White Chocolate Pumpkin Fudge

Making this fudge requires just a few pantry staples and a saucepan. Before you begin, line an 8×8 dish with parchment paper to make lifting and slicing the fudge a breeze.

• White chocolate chips: The star of the recipe, giving the fudge its smooth, sweet base.
• Sweetened condensed milk: Provides richness and helps the fudge set without needing a candy thermometer.
• Pumpkin puree: Adds the signature fall flavor and a gorgeous orange hue.
• Pumpkin pie spice: Enhances the pumpkin with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
• Vanilla extract: Brings warmth and rounds out the flavor.
• Salt: Just a pinch balances the sweetness and intensifies the spice notes.

How To Make the White Chocolate Pumpkin Fudge

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate Base

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly to prevent scorching until the chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 2: Stir in the Pumpkin and Spice

Remove the pan from heat and quickly stir in the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully combined and silky.

Step 3: Pour and Chill

Pour the mixture into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. You can tap the pan lightly on the counter to smooth the top.

Step 4: Let It Set

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm. Once set, lift the fudge out using the parchment, slice into squares, and serve.

How to Serve and Store White Chocolate Pumpkin Fudge

This recipe yields around 36 small squares, making it perfect for potlucks or treat boxes. It should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the fudge for up to 2 months. Just wrap the pieces individually in wax paper and store in a freezer bag.

It tastes best slightly chilled, but you can let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for a softer texture.
