Ingredients
Scale
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup pistachio butter (or finely ground pistachios mixed with 2 tablespoons neutral oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shelled, unsalted pistachios, roughly chopped (for topping)
Instructions
Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and both types of chocolate chips. Stir constantly until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Do not let it boil.
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the pistachio butter, vanilla extract, and salt until fully incorporated and the mixture is uniform in color.
Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly over the top surface. Gently press them into the fudge slightly.
Refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours, or until firm enough to slice cleanly.
Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge block from the pan. Place it on a cutting board.
Cut the fudge into 16 even squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
For a cleaner slice, run your knife under hot water and wipe it dry between cuts.
If you do not have pistachio butter, use 1 cup of finely ground pistachios mixed with 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil or vegetable oil to create a paste.
If you prefer a darker chocolate flavor, substitute the white chocolate chips with an additional 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
