Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1½ cups chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent the fudge from sticking and make it easier to remove once set. Set aside.
- Blend Pumpkin: Empty the can of pumpkin puree into a blender, which will help achieve a smooth consistency when combined with chocolate.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips either in the microwave using short intervals (15-20 seconds, stirring in between) or on the stovetop using a double boiler to avoid scorching.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate into the blender with the pumpkin puree.
- Add Sweetener and Blend: Add the maple syrup to the blender. Blend until the pumpkin and chocolate mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Pour Mixture into Pan: Transfer the blended pumpkin fudge mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan a few times on the countertop to level the surface and remove air bubbles.
- Chill to Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator or freezer for approximately 1 hour, or until the fudge is firm and set.
- Cut and Serve: Once firm, remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper, cut into 32 small squares, and serve.
Notes
- You can use any type of chocolate chips: semi-sweet, dark, or milk chocolate depending on your preference.
- Ensure the pumpkin puree is pure and unsweetened for the best flavor balance.
- Maple syrup adds natural sweetness, but you could substitute with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
- For a firmer fudge, freezing instead of refrigeration is recommended.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
