Ingredients
  

1 cup pumpkin puree (ensure it’s not pumpkin pie filling)

2 cups white chocolate chips

1 cup sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup chopped nuts (optional: walnuts or pecans)

Additional pumpkin seeds or pecans for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Pan: Begin by lining an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Leave a bit of overhang on the sides to make removing the fudge easier later on. Lightly spray the parchment paper with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Melt the Chocolate: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until the chocolate chips have fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.

      Incorporate Pumpkin and Spices: Once melted, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt into the mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined, ensuring a smooth, creamy consistency.

        Add Nuts (if desired): If you choose to include nuts for added flavor and texture, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans until evenly distributed throughout the fudgy mixture.

          Pour Into Pan: Transfer the pumpkin fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it out evenly across the bottom.

            Chill the Fudge: Once spread evenly, cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place it in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the fudge is firm to the touch.

              Cut and Serve: After chilling, lift the fudge out of the baking dish using the overhanging parchment paper. Place it on a cutting board and slice into small squares. For an extra decorative touch, consider topping each square with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds or pecans.

                Store: Keep any leftover pumpkin fudge in an airtight container stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, ensuring it stays fresh and delicious.
