What You’ll Need

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. Each ingredient plays a starring role in creating that perfect balance of flavors and textures that make this fudge so irresistible.

• White chocolate chips – The creamy foundation of our fudge. I always reach for high-quality chips because they melt more smoothly and give you that luxurious texture we’re after.
• Sweetened condensed milk – This magical ingredient is what transforms our chocolate into silky, set-able fudge. It adds sweetness and that perfect creamy consistency.
• Pumpkin puree – Make sure you grab pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. This gives us that gorgeous orange color and subtle pumpkin flavor.
• Vanilla extract – A splash of pure vanilla enhances all the other flavors and adds that warm, comforting note.
• Pumpkin pie spice – The secret to that authentic fall flavor. If you don’t have it on hand, you can mix cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of cloves.

Let’s Bake It Together

Ready to create some magic? This white chocolate pumpkin fudge comes together so quickly, you’ll be amazed at how simple it is.

1. Melt your white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a large microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds. Give it a good stir – you’ll see it starting to come together beautifully.
2. Heat for another 30 seconds, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Don’t worry if it takes an extra 15-20 seconds – every microwave is different.
3. Fold in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir really well here you want everything evenly distributed for that perfect autumn flavor in every bite.
4. Line an 8×8 inch glass baking dish with parchment or wax paper. This makes removing your fudge so much easier later.
5. Pour the mixture into your prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Take your time here – a smooth top makes for prettier squares.
6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until completely set. I know waiting is the hardest part, but trust the process!
7. Cut into squares once set and enjoy. Clean your knife between cuts for the prettiest presentation.

Serving Suggestions

This pumpkin white chocolate fudge is absolutely perfect on its own, but there are so many delightful ways to dress it up. I love serving it on a rustic wooden board with some toasted pecans scattered around it feels so harvest-season elegant.

For special occasions, try drizzling melted dark chocolate over the top in a decorative pattern, or dust with a light sprinkle of cinnamon. During the holidays, I like to cut them into festive shapes using small cookie cutters.

These squares are also incredible alongside a warm cup of spiced apple cider or your favorite fall latte. The combination is pure comfort food bliss.

Make It Your Own

One of my favorite things about this recipe is how adaptable it is to your taste preferences and dietary needs.

• For a dairy-free version, swap the white chocolate chips for dairy-free white chocolate and use coconut condensed milk instead of regular.
• Add texture with chopped toasted pecans, walnuts, or even mini marshmallows folded into the mixture before setting.
• Create a **chocolate swirl** by melting some dark chocolate and gently swirling it through the fudge before chilling.
• Boost the spice factor by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick that plays beautifully with the pumpkin.

Kitchen Tips & Tricks

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

This pumpkin fudge recipe stores beautifully, making it perfect for entertaining or gift-giving. Keep your fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks – though I doubt it’ll last that long!

For longer storage, wrap individual pieces in wax paper and freeze for up to three months. They thaw quickly at room temperature, so you can enjoy a piece whenever that pumpkin craving hits.

Want to get ahead for a party? This fudge actually tastes even better after a day or two in the fridge, as all those flavors have time to meld together beautifully.
