Welcome to my baking adventures.

Pistachio Fudge

It’s the holidays and that makes it all about making treats. To eat and to share. Fudge is one of my go to treats. There are so many different versions of fudge out there. A flavor for every tastebud.

You can do Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Vanilla, Maple Walnut, the possibilities are endless.

Pistachios are my favorite nut, ever since I was a little girl. My Grandpa used to get them at Christmas time, they used to be dyed red back them and by the time we were done eating them we’d all have red fingers. And it wouldn’t wash off. Thank goodness they stopped dying them.

I also love Pistachio Pudding. It was only a matter of time before this fudge happened.

I’ve been asked so many times how I get such clean cuts on my fudge and bars. It’s this 9 1/2″ French Chef Knife. I am in love with this knife. Have you ever gone to cut bars made in an 8×8 or 9×13 pan and the knife is too short? Not this beauty. It’s longer so one one clean cut, perfection. Bars get messy when the knife has to go up and down. You should see the number this knife does chopping veggies too. (yes, we occasionally eat other things besides sweets at my house!)

Be sure to check out the gorgeous Triple Chocolate Cake Roxana Made, I think I drooled a little when I saw it!

Cutco did send me both the French Chef Knife and the Bake n’ Serve sets to try, no other compensation was given. All opinions are my own. I seriously love these products, I wouldn’t share them with you if I didn’t!

    Oh, my goodness!! I had COMPLETELY forgotten that pistachios were RED when we were little!!! What a great memory, Joan!!
    This fudge looks and sounds absolutely fantastic!! I never would have thought to put them in fudge.
    I have to tell you that I’m sold on Cutco for life. My mother was given a set for her wedding and it outlasted her marriage and I inherited it. I LOVE those knives and utensils and use them every day. I have one spoon that is broken and has moved cross country with me twice. I think I just need to stop procrastinating and send it to them to be fixed.

    Can you use sugar free pudding in this recipe?

    • Joan Hayes says

      December 13, 2014 at 8:44 am

      Yes you can.

    omg this fudge looks amazing!! do u have a recipe for your pistachio pudding?

    • Joan Hayes says

      December 11, 2014 at 12:05 pm

      I don’t have a scratch recipe for Pistachio Pudding. To make this fudge you want to use a boxed mix for instant pudding.

    I want to make this for work, would it be ok to double this recipe?

    • Joan Hayes says

      December 16, 2014 at 8:58 am

      Yes you can double the recipe and use a 9×13 pan.

      • Angela says

        December 16, 2014 at 9:44 am

        Thank you so much.!!!! Making it today

          How did yours turn out? Mine didn’t set? I messaged her and she said sweetened condensed milk, but that’s not a listed ingredient?

          • jenny says

            December 25, 2014 at 9:00 pm

            Mine did not set well either. If I leave it in fridge you can pick it up, but it gets too soft sitting out. Grainy texture.

    This looks so good! I plan on making this to give away. I had a question though; would it be possible to use silicone molds instead of a cake pan. If so, would I need to do anything differently?

    • Joan Hayes says

      December 18, 2014 at 7:22 am

      Silicone molds are a great idea! No need to do anything extra. Once the fudge is set, just pop them out.

  16. Patricia Middleton says

    In your Pistachio Fudge you use instant pistachio pudding – would that be regular or sugar-free?

    • Joan Hayes says

      January 4, 2015 at 7:52 am

      I use regular but either will work just fine.

  17. Denise Edlebeck says

    February 22, 2015 at 2:47 pm

    As stated above, is there sweetened condensed milk in this recipe? If so, how much and when and how do you add it? Thanks! It looks like great fudge!

    • Joan Hayes says

      February 23, 2015 at 8:22 am

      No, this recipe does not use sweetened condensed milk, just white chocolate chips, butter, dry pudding mix, water and powdered sugar.
