Time 40m

Yield 2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups white chocolate chips (1 12-ounce bag plus half of another)
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (save the can)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups shelled natural pistachio nuts
1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries
candied red cherries
candied green cherries, to decorate top (like holly)

Steps:

  • Pour the chips, condensed milk and vanilla into a medium saucepan. Put the pan on the stove and turn the heat to low. (Stir occasionally while you prepare pan).
  • Butter an 8-inch round cake pan with softened butter. (I found it easier to remove from the pan if you lined bottom with parchment paper and buttered the sides).
  • Cover the empty condensed milk can with plastic wrap and put it in the center of the round cake pan.
  • Stir the chips and milk until they melt together, about 3 minutes. Stir in pistachios and dried cranberries. Scoop the fudge into the cake pan all around the plastic-covered can in the center to form a wreath or ring shape. Let it be all bumpy on top. If the fudge moves the can off center, move it back in place.
  • Cut the red cherries in half with scissors and the green cherries into quarters. Use the green pieces to make leaves and the red to make holly berries. Decorate the fudge with several groups of holly berry sprigs made from the cherries and garnish with pistachios between the sprigs.
  • Put the fudge in the refrigerator and chill until firm (about a half hour). Remove the can from the center, then loosen the sides and bottom of the fudge with a spatula (you won't need to do this if you took my advice about the parchment paper!). Cut the fudge into thin slices to serve.

NIGELLA LAWSON EASY CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO FUDGE



Nigella Lawson Easy Chocolate Pistachio Fudge image

So easy and quick...great for an instant chocolate fix. Make these and put them directly into the freezer. This fudge stays nice and smooth but be sure to keep these cool. I use walnuts when I don't have pistachios.

Time 20m

Yield 60 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 5

350 g dark chocolate, chopped (70 %cocoa solids)
1 (397 g) can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 pinch salt
150 g unsalted shelled pistachios

Steps:

  • Line a 23cm/9 inch square pan with foil and grease lightly -- I use the spray. Scatter nuts on the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Place the chocolate, condensed milk, butter and salt in a glass bowl and microwave on MED(50%) for about 4 minutes. Stir every minute until just melted.
  • Pour the mixture on top of the nuts. You can smooth the top, if you want it to look tidy.
  • Nigella recommends to let the fudge cool in the fridge til set, but I put it directly in the freezer. (So I can eat it sooner!) It can be eaten directly from the freezer, as it doesn't freeze hard.
  • Cut into 2cm x 3cm pieces. Very rich and satisfying!
