Pistachio Fudge
I first saw this recipe on my friend Stacie’s blog Eating in Denmark and I knew that I had to make this immediately, and so this recipe shoot right up to the top of my mile long to-do-list. It is super delicious, easy and quick to make, and it looks so festive with the green pistachios. I have also made it with coconut, which was equally delicious, and I suppose you could make this fudge with just about any of your favorite filling. Thank you Stacie for this fabulous Fudge recipe 🙂
Pistachios
Mixing in the Pistachios
Ingredients:
12 ounce semisweet chocolate, chopped
12 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
a pinch of salt
1 cup shelled unsalted pistachios
Directions:
Line a 9 x 9 inch pan with foil, letting the foil extend out over the two edges.
Melt the chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, butter and salt over very low heat.
While the chocolate mixture is melting, place pistachios in a zip lock bag and break them up into small and bigger pieces by pounding them with a rolling-pin.
Add the pistachios to the melted chocolate mixture and stir to mix well. Pour mixture into prepared pan, smooth out the top and place in refrigerator to cool completely. You can place it in the freezer to help speed up the cooling process.
Once the fudge is completely cooled and set, lift the fudge out of pan using the extra foil extending over edges. Cut into 1 inch pieces. I recommend to keep fudge cooled in refrigerator until serving. Enjoy.

Is that a marble rolling pan!? Love it 🙂 Fudge looks super yummy too!
Why yes that is a marble rolling pin. I got it many many years ago and I still use it. Sometimes it is actually a little too heavy but it works great espically with cooled dough.
That is a great recipe. I love fudge.
So pretty, love the pistachio nuts in the dark chocolate. I will have to try this one:-)
Holy yum! That’s all I can say!
Gitte, these are perfect for the Holidays or any ole day. They look fantastic.
I was thinking of making some simple fudge for the guest coming on the holidays… this sounds so perfect 🙂 The pistachio looks so amazing buried in the rich chocolate fudge 🙂
Oh my….pistachios in fudge…I must try this. I can’t believe I haven’t tried it in the past actually. Delicious.
Hi Gitte. Great photos! The one with the candle in it, I must say, looks very Danish. It’s the hyggeligt effect! 🙂 I’m so glad you like this recipe!
