Cuisine: American
Serves: 36 pieces
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup cinnamon chips
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later. Lightly spray the parchment with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and pumpkin puree. Ensure the bowl is completely dry to prevent chocolate from seizing.
- Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval. Continue until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, typically 1-2 minutes total.
- Add pumpkin pie spice and salt to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir vigorously until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is uniform in color and texture.
- Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly to all corners. Sprinkle cinnamon chips across the top of the fudge, gently pressing them into the surface.
- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until completely set and firm to the touch.
- Using the overhanging parchment paper, lift the fudge out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Cut into 36 small squares using a sharp knife.
- Store fudge pieces in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For best texture, let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
