Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Melt Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until melted and smooth.
- Mix Pumpkin: Remove half of the melted chocolate mixture and set aside. To the remaining chocolate in the saucepan, add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Layer the Fudge: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Drizzle the reserved white chocolate mixture on top and use a knife to swirl it together for a marbled effect.
