Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate chips
- 7 ounces (198 grams) marshmallow fluff
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
- 2 1/2 cups (500 grams) granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup (160 milliliters) evaporated milk
Spices:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- In a medium saucepan, blend granulated sugar, evaporated milk, pumpkin puree, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture reaches a rolling boil.
- Maintain a steady boil for 12 minutes, constantly stirring to prevent scorching and ensure even heat distribution.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately incorporate softened butter, marshmallow fluff, white chocolate chips, and pure vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture transforms into a silky, homogeneous texture.
- Carefully transfer the molten fudge into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and create a smooth surface.
- Allow the fudge to cool naturally at room temperature for approximately 2-3 hours, or until it sets completely and firms up.
- Once fully cooled and solidified, slice the fudge into uniform squares using a sharp knife, creating delectable bite-sized treats.
Notes
- Use a light-colored metal pan for even heat distribution and better visual color contrast with the pumpkin fudge.
- Check candy thermometer accuracy before starting to ensure precise temperature for perfect fudge consistency.
- Consider using parchment paper with overhanging edges for easier removal and cleaner cutting of fudge squares.
- Adjust spice levels by increasing or decreasing cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to match personal taste preferences without compromising texture.
