Title: Kitchen Fun With My 3 Sons | White Chocolate Cranberry Pistachio Fudge
Ingredients:
– 3 cups white chocolate chips
– 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup dried cranberries
– 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
Instructions:
1. Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and salt over low heat. Stir continuously until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to overheat the mixture to prevent burning.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Quickly fold in the dried cranberries and chopped pistachios, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the fudge mixture.
5. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
6. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours, or until set.
7. Once the fudge is firm, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board. Peel off the parchment paper and cut the fudge into small squares using a sharp knife.
8. Serve your white chocolate cranberry pistachio fudge on a festive platter or package it in decorative boxes for gifting. Enjoy the creamy, nutty, and tangy flavors of this delightful holiday treat!
