White Chocolate Pistachio Cherry Fudge Recipes

FIVE MINUTE WHITE CHOCOLATE FUDGE WITH PISTACHIO AND CRANBERRIES

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.

TART CHERRY AND PISTACHIO FUDGE

Steps:

• Microwave semi-sweet chocolate and 3/4 cup of the sweetened condensed milk in medium microwavable bowl on HIGH 2 minutes or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring after 1 minute. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in pistachios, vanilla and cayenne pepper. Spread in foil-lined 8-inch square pan. Set aside.
• Microwave white chocolate and remaining sweetened condensed milk in medium microwavable bowl on HIGH 1 1/2 minutes or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring after 1 minute. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Spread evenly over semi-sweet chocolate layer. Sprinkle cherries evenly over top, pressing cherries lightly into the fudge.
• Refrigerate 2 hours or until fudge is set. Use foil to lift out of pan onto cutting board. Cut into 36 pieces.

WHITE CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Heat the sweetened condensed milk, pistachio butter and 1 pound white chocolate chips in a double boiler over medium-low heat until the chocolate is melted. Stir; the mixture will have a slight marshmallow texture. Remove from the heat, then cover and refrigerate until chilled, 2 hours.
• Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Melt the remaining 1/2 pound white chocolate together with the coconut oil over a double boiler on medium-low heat until smooth. Set aside.
• Roll the chilled truffle batter into teaspoon-sized balls. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted white chocolate coating, and let the excess chocolate drip off. Immediately sprinkle with the chopped pistachios and place on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make more truffles.
• Allow the chocolate exterior to set completely, about 30 minutes. If short on time, chill for 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
