Ingredients

Scale

To make this delightful treat, you’ll need:

3/4 cup white chocolate chips
6 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup water
1 package (4-serving size) instant pistachio pudding mix
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup shelled pistachios (chopped or whole, as preferred)

Optional Substitutions

Replace white chocolate chips with dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
Use vegan butter and plant-based pudding mix for a dairy-free version.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with foil, ensuring the edges are covered for easy removal.

Step 2: Melt the Base

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips, butter, and water. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stirring until the chocolate chips are fully melted. If needed, heat for an additional 30 seconds.

Step 3: Add Pistachio Flavor

Stir in the dry pistachio pudding mix until fully blended with the melted chocolate mixture.

Step 4: Incorporate Powdered Sugar

Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. The mixture will become thick and smooth.

Step 5: Fold in Pistachios

Gently fold in the chopped pistachios to ensure even distribution.

Step 6: Set the Fudge

Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.

Step 7: Slice and Serve

Once chilled, lift the fudge out of the pan using the foil edges. Slice into squares with a sharp knife. Enjoy!

Notes

For a creamier texture, sift the powdered sugar before adding it to the mixture.
To enhance the pistachio flavor, toast the nuts lightly before folding them in.
