Microwave Pistachio Fudge is a quick and easy no-bake dessert combining creamy white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk with crunchy pistachios. Ready in just over 2 hours including chilling time, this rich and nutty fudge is perfect for holiday gifting or sweet indulgences anytime.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Fudge

  • 2 cups white chocolate chips (or vanilla baking chips)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pistachios (shelled and roughly chopped)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup additional pistachios for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal later.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted, about 1.5 to 2 minutes total.
  3. Mix in Flavors: Stir in vanilla extract and chopped pistachios until evenly incorporated.
  4. Pour and Set: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Optionally sprinkle additional chopped pistachios on top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
  5. Cut and Serve: Lift the set fudge from the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of sea salt or a dash of almond extract.
  • Substitute pistachios with almonds or walnuts for a different taste.
  • Use dark chocolate chips instead of white for a richer flavor.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week or refrigerated up to 2 weeks.
  • Fudge can be frozen up to 3 months, wrapped well in plastic and foil.
  • Add food coloring drops to melted mixture to create colorful fudge.
