Christmas Fudge Ingredients:
Please note you will find the full recipe and method in the recipe card below:
- Sweetened Condensed Milk – it is important to use a full fat sweetened condensed milk for this recipe as it will set better than low fat versions.
- White Chocolate – you will need three blocks of white chocolate for this recipe. I recommend using a good quality chocolate versus a cooking chocolate.
- Cranberries
- Pistachios – you can chop both the pistachios and cranberries if you wish, however this is not necessary.
How to Make 4 Ingredient Christmas Fudge:
- Break the white chocolate into pieces and place in a saucepan/Thermomix along with the sweetened condensed milk. Cook until thick and creamy.
- Add the pistachios and cranberries and stir through to combine.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared tin.
- Place into the fridge to set for a minimum of six hours – preferably overnight.
Tips for making the BEST Christmas Fudge:
- This is a soft fudge, I recommend using a full fat sweetened condensed milk to help the fudge set properly as light versions will result in a softer fudge.
- The brand of sweetened condensed milk that you use can also impact the consistency of your fudge, I have good results using Nestle brand.
- You can use a different size/shape tin to set your fudge in, the thickness will change.
- I suggest using a good quality white chocolate rather than cooking chocolate for this recipe.
- It is really important to work quickly when adding the pistachios and cranberries as this white chocolate fudge mixture does begin to set quickly.
- Also as tempting as it may be to try and cut this fudge after a few hours, it’s best to wait until the next day to make sure it’s completely set.
- To store, keep in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within two weeks.
