Ingredients
Scale
Essential Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
Optional Add-Ins & Variations
- Pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice (for spiced upgrade)
- 1/4 cup melted dark chocolate (for chocolate swirl)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans, walnuts, or pumpkin seeds (for crunch)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (for vanilla boost)
- Sweetened coconut milk or vegan condensed milk alternative (for vegan-friendly version)
Instructions
- Prepare your pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure your fudge releases easily after setting.
- Combine the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and pure pumpkin puree until fully blended and smooth with no lumps.
- Spread and chill: Pour the mixture into your prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula for even thickness. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 3 hours or until it sets and becomes firm to the touch.
- Slice and serve: Once chilled, use a sharp knife warmed under hot water to cut the fudge into small squares. Serve immediately or store for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling to avoid added spices and sweeteners that can alter the taste.
- Chill the fudge thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to achieve the perfect firmness without crumbliness.
- Mix ingredients in a room temperature bowl to help them combine smoothly without warming the fudge mixture.
- Warm your knife blade with hot water before slicing to ensure clean, smooth cuts.
- Taste the mixture before chilling and adjust sweetness with a little maple syrup or honey if desired.
