Pumpkin Pie Fudge has a smooth, creamy texture and a warm pumpkin spice flavor. The fudge will just melt in your mouth! This homemade fudge is a great alternative to a traditional pumpkin pie and it is so quick and easy to make! It is a fabulous fall dessert or sweet treat to serve for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the entire holiday season.

Personally, I love the flavor of pumpkin pie spice and I love all things pumpkin. However, when it comes to pumpkin pie, I like the smell and flavor, but I am not overly enthusiastic about the texture of pumpkin pie. It’s just not my favorite. On Thanksgiving day, instead of eating pumpkin pie for dessert, I much prefer to have the pumpkin pie fudge and these delicious mini pumpkin cheesecakes!

Pumpkin fudge is also kid-approved! My daughter is actually the one who gave me the idea to create this recipe. She is also my taste tester and she has already eaten way more than she probably should. Oh well, at least it has some pumpkin in it.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup pure pumpkin puree not pie filling
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz.
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut
• 24 oz. white chocolate chips

Instructions

Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper. You can also line it with foil, then spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the pumpkin, spice, vanilla, and condensed milk to a medium saucepan then stir to combine. Over low-medium heat, bring just to a boil while you are constantly stirring. This will take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and then stir in the white chocolate chips and butter until the mixture is completely melted, smooth and creamy.
Once you have your smooth and creamy mixture, pour it into the prepared pan and spread. Cover and refrigerate overnight or until the fudge is completely set. You can also freeze it in an airtight container for 2 hours, which is my preference.
Once the fudge is set, use the parchment or foil to lift it out of the pan. Using a sharp knife, cut the fudge into 1-inch squares. *see notes
