Preparation Time 10-15 minutes
Cooking Time 10-20 minutes
Total Time 80-100 minutes
Level of Difficulty Medium

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plain butter
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk (from a 5-ounce can)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice blend
  • 1 1/3 cups white chocolate chips (9 ounces)
  • 7 ounces marshmallow cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Dish

Line a 9×9 baking dish with aluminum foil, ensuring there’s extra hanging over all four edges to use as handles.

Lightly coat the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Cook the Fudge Mixture

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

Add sugar, milk, pumpkin, corn syrup, and pumpkin pie spice to the melted butter.

Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.

Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until a candy thermometer reaches 235 degrees F (soft-ball stage).

This process can take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on your interpretation of “medium-high” heat.

Step 3: Mix in Remaining Ingredients

Once the fudge mixture has reached the soft-ball stage, remove the pan from heat.

Stir in white chocolate, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla until the mixture is well blended and smooth.

Step 4: Pour and Cool the Fudge

Pour the hot fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish lined with aluminum foil.

Let it stand at room temperature for about 2 hours or until completely cool.

Step 5: Cut and Serve

Refrigerate the cooled fudge mixture for one hour to firm up before cutting.

Using the aluminum foil handles, lift the fudge out of the baking dish and cut into squares.

Enjoy your homemade fudge!
