1(12 oz/340 g)white baking chips, see note before starting
1/3cup (90 g)canned pumpkin pie mix
Instructions
Line an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
Add white chocolate chips and pumpkin pie mix to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-30 second increments, stirring in between with a spatula, until it’s completely smooth and melted. Alternatively, you can also melt the chocolate and pumpkin on the stove using the double boiler method.
Pour mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread in an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until the surface feels firm.
Once it is solid, remove the pan from the freezer. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board. Cut into 1-inch squares with a large sharp knife. If you aren't able to cut the fudge right away, you can let it come to room temperature for a few minutes before cutting.
Serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer until ready to eat.
Notes
White chocolate chips: In the US, white baking chips are commonly referred to as white chocolate chips which is why I use the two terms interchangeably. However, they are not technically white chocolate because they don't contain cocoa butter, so they are always labeled white baking chips or white morsels. You do want to choose a good quality brand. I've found some of the generic brands don't melt well. You also want to use a fresh bag because white chocolate chips don't melt well once they are exposed to air. Even if your bag is fairly new, if you already previously opened it and it's been a few weeks, you may have issues with melting that chocolate so I like to always start with a fresh bag if possible. Also make sure to use regular white baking chips and not dairy-free ones or allergen-free brands like Enjoy Life. The fudge may not set properly with these kinds of white baking chips.
You can make this fudge with pumpkin puree instead and add spices (or leave them out). You can also make this fudge with pumpkin butter.
