Description
Make rich, fudgy chocolate squares with a pistachio layer using this simple no-bake recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios, plus extra for topping
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for swirl)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully combined and smooth. This is your fudge base.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup of chopped pistachios into the fudge base.
- Press about two-thirds of the fudge mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the pistachio fudge layer.
- If using, melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle them over the chocolate layer. Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the white chocolate into the dark chocolate.
- Sprinkle the reserved chopped pistachios over the top layer.
- Refrigerate the pan for at least 4 hours, or until the fudge is firm.
- Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the pan. Cut into 16 squares before serving.
Notes
- For easier cutting, place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes before slicing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can substitute almond extract for vanilla for a different nut flavor profile.
