This Creamy Pumpkin Fudge recipe is one you'll want to make over and over again.

Provided by The Southern Lady

Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 cups white sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 cup 100% pumpkin (I use the canned pumpkin and have never tried it with any other kind)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup marshmallow creme
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup nuts of your choice (Optional)

Steps:

  • In a pan on top of the stove bring the sugar and milk to a boil stirring a couple times.
  • Add the pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, marshmallow creme and butter. Mix well and return to boiling.
  • Set your timer and boil for 20 minutes on a medium boil. Be sure to boil the 20 minutes. You can check then with a candy thermometer to see if it is 232 degrees or at the soft ball stage but I never boil less than 20 minutes.
  • Stir to make sure it is not burning.
  • Once you boil for 20 minutes, remove and add white chocolate chips, vanilla and nuts. (I kind of beat the chips in with a spoon until melted.) Spray a 9 x 9 baking dish and pour the fudge into the dish. Put into refrigerator. Should be able to cut in about two hours.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree will give your fudge a richer flavor and a smoother texture. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but make sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overcook the fudge. Fudge is done when it reaches a temperature of 234 degrees Fahrenheit (112 degrees Celsius). If you overcook it, it will become grainy and crumbly.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will help the fudge to set properly and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Fudge will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for fall. With its rich pumpkin flavor and creamy texture, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give pumpkin fudge a try. You won't be disappointed!
