Introduction

This pistachio fudge is a creamy, nutty treat that’s perfect for sharing or indulging on your own. Made with vegan ingredients, it’s rich and smooth with a delightful crunch from chopped pistachios. Whether you’re vegan or just love a good fudge, this recipe is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Four square pieces of creamy pistachio fudge are stacked vertically in the center, each light greenish-yellow piece embedded with chopped green pistachio nuts. A thick drizzle of bright yellow-green sauce flows down the top piece over the sides. Around the stack are more pieces of the pistachio fudge scattered on a white marbled surface, some whole pistachios adding texture and color. In the background, there is a white bowl filled with more pistachio fudge squares, softly blurred, and a metallic textured container. The image is well lit, showing the smooth and dense texture of the fudge with clear nut details. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

320 g sweetened condensed coconut milk (note 1)
125 g pistachio butter
250 g vegan white chocolate (note 2)
60 g vegan butter, melted
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
125 g pistachios, roughly chopped

Instructions

Step 1: Line an 8×8 inch dish with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a heatproof bowl, combine the sweetened condensed coconut milk, pistachio butter, chopped vegan white chocolate, melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract if using. Place the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water (double boiler method), making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Step 3: Stir occasionally while the mixture melts together smoothly. Be careful to keep any water from getting into the mixture as this can cause the fudge to seize.
Step 4: Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the chopped pistachios, saving a small handful to sprinkle on top later.
Step 5: Pour the mixture into the lined pan and smooth the top. Scatter the reserved pistachios over the surface, gently pressing them in so they stick as the fudge sets.
Step 6: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm. If you’re short on time, you can freeze it for about 2 hours to speed up the setting process.
Step 7: Once set, keep the fudge in the pan and slice into squares with a sharp knife.

Tips & Variations

Use a sharp, warm knife to slice the fudge cleanly without cracking.
Swap pistachio butter for almond or cashew butter for a different nutty flavor.
For extra texture, toast the pistachios lightly before chopping and mixing in.
If the mixture seizes, gently stir in a small splash of plant-based milk to bring it back together.

Storage

Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze the fudge in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving. Fudge is best enjoyed chilled or at cool room temperature.

How to Serve

The image shows a stack of four square pieces of yellow-green pistachio fudge, each piece filled with visible green pistachio nuts inside. The top piece has a smooth, thick drizzle of glossy yellow sauce flowing down its side. Around the stack, more pieces of the same fudge are scattered on a white marbled surface, some whole and some broken, showing their soft, dense texture with embedded nuts. Loose pistachio nuts lie near the fudge, and the background features a blurred white bowl with more fudge pieces and a textured glass container, all placed on the white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular condensed milk instead of sweetened condensed coconut milk?

Yes, but this will make the fudge non-vegan. Sweetened condensed coconut milk is used here to keep the recipe vegan-friendly.

What if the fudge doesn’t set properly?

If the fudge remains too soft, try chilling it longer or freezing for a short period. Also, ensure the measurements are accurate and avoid water getting into the mixture while melting.
