Notes
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Quality counts: Use real white chocolate and choose a quality brand (not compound chocolate or baking chips) for the best creamy texture.
Sweetened condensed milk: Choose full-fat, skim will not set as firmly.
Pistachios: Choose roasted and unsalted pistachios. You can buy them already shelled or shell your own.
Don’t overheat the chocolate: Microwave in short 30 second bursts and stir each time to prevent seizing.
Setting time: The fudge needs at least 2 hours in the fridge to firm up before cutting. Note: This is a semi-soft fudge which means that it's best stored in the fridge until you're ready to serve it.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Freezing: Freeze pieces of fudge in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight before serving.
Gift giving: Wrap individual squares in clear cellophane with ribbon for a gorgeous edible Christmas gift. Note: If you're planning to add this to a Christmas hamper, ensure that it won't be out of the fridge for too long as it will begin to soften.
