It's that time again!! What do we mean…well when everything is pumpkin, LOVE it! We are obsessed with this flavor right around September and this year we decided to make this finger lickin' good treat…literally. (affiliate links present)

It's that time again!! What do we mean…well we add this puree into all the things. We are talking about brownies with pumpkininto creamer, muffins and all different kinds of treats like this one.

When it comes to fudge it's all about flavor. This pumpkin fudge recipe is great because you can make it in your microwave, so it is fun to do with your kids (they can help). NO bake desserts are the best aren't they? You only need a few ingredients to make it taste great! It contains no milk pumpkin and white chocolate chips basically so it's easy to throw together.

We love pumpkin throughout the year and if we can get away with not turning on our stove or oven we're all about a recipe like that. This candy treat is quite easy. NO stove, oven or candy thermometer necessary friends. nuke, cool and enjoy your fudge set of squares.

That's right, no sticky marshmallow creme or evaporated milk needed for this one.You don't even need a can of sweetened condensed milk as you do to make our Southern sweet potato pie. mix these 4 ingredients and spread into a baking dish to cool. Then slice and enjoy!

Ingredient notes

You are going to want a can of Pumpkinin a can or you can make puree homemade with our recipe for pressure cooker pumpkin

White chocolate chips will be melted to become the smooth base

Some Sweetened condensed milk thins it out after melted together, you can find this dairy free online.

We like a bit o fVanilla extract (optional) but a nice duo of flavor

Pumpkin pie spice will further enhance the Fall flavors like it does with our pumpkin mug cake.

How Long to Cook Pumpkin Fudge in Microwave

You are going to need about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, to melt the ingredients you will need to make this easy pumpkin fudge. From there you will need a good few hours for it to cool and harden so only a few minutes to cook but several hours to get done and ready to enjoy.

How Long to Cool Microwave Fudge in the Refrigerator

We like to leave it out for about an hour with the hot liquid right out of the microwave before transferring into the fridge. However, whether you do that or not it will take about 4 hours to cool down completely, enough so that it will stiffen to be sliced into neat little squares.

Tips

Best tip: Use paper bowls and spoons to make this, makes the cleanup SO much easier!! AND let your kids help. Since there is no “cooking” or baking required they'll love getting involved.

Put a little dollop of whipped cream on top after you cut into squares when you serve them. It looks cute as well as adding a bit of creaminess too.

Equipment

Ingredients

24 oz white chocolate chips, 4 cups
2.5 tbsp pumpkin, canned
8 oz sweetened condensed milk
3/4 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Melt chocolate chips and condensed milk in a microwave safe bowl for 1 min. at 50% power stirring and then again in 30 second intervals until it is smooth and thick without any chunks. If you only barely melt it and it's not hot enough it won't get firm enough later on
Add all other ingredients and stir until combined well.
Line 8×8 pan with non stick foil or parchment paper. Spoon pumpkin fudge mixture inside. Smooth so it is evenly distributed in the pan.
Put in the fridge for at least 4 hours or until firm. Lift parchment paper out and use sharp knife to cut into squares. Enjoy
Keep in fridge if there are leftovers.

How long can you store homemade fudge?

Leftovers should be kept in your fridge though so they keep their shape vs. at room temperature. Feel free to refrigerate this easy pumpkin fudge recipe in air tight containers can extend its life to two to three weeks.

TIP: With both easy microwave fudge recipes we like to lay a piece of parchment paper on the bottom before we pour into the prepared pan. This makes it EASY to lift the whole thing out and slice cleanly. You could prepare the pan with foil but we prefer to use wax or parchment instead. Freezing in the initial cooling stage solidifies it vs. putting it into your refrigerator.

Want to try making dinner in a microwave too? It's totally possible because here we show how to boil pasta in the microwave and make into butter noodles at the end. Enjoy that with fudge as a dessert, or our chocolate chip cookie in a mug and you won't need a stove!

Can we freeze homemade fudge?

Yes, but it's best to do it uncut. Wrap in plastic wrap, then inside a freezer bag and freeze. Allow to thaw before slicing when you're ready to enjoy it again. That way it will be smooth and creamy again.

Is canned pumpkin the same as canned puree?

Yes. Pumpkin puree is what you get in the Libby's can. The one labeled pumpkin pie filling is different. Pureed is used to make a number of recipes and desserts because it is not sweetened and 100% pure without anything else.
