Step 1

Begin by measuring all of the ingredients you will need for the pistachio fudge recipe.

Step 2

In a saucepan, fill 1/3 of the way with water and bring to a simmer. Turn down the heat to low and place a large bowl over the pot, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water.

Step 3

Combine chocolate chips, condensed milk, butter, instant pistachio pudding mix, and pistachio extract in the bowl.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients together until everything is combined.

Step 5

The fudge mixture needs to be smooth and free of any chunks.

Step 6

Add pistachios to the mixture.

Step 7

Fold pistachios in with a silicone spatula.

Step 8

Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 9

Transfer the fudge mixture into the pan.

Step 10

Spread the mixture evenly with a clean spatula.

Step 11

Sprinkle more pistachios on top of the fudge.

Step 12

Gently press the nuts into the fudge. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours or preferably overnight.

Step 13

Once the fudge has hardened, prepare a cutting board, disposable gloves, and a large knife for cutting the fudge. Have a wet kitchen towel on hand to wipe the knife after each cut.

Step 14

Remove the fudge from the fridge and peel it off the parchment paper. Place it on the cutting board.

Step 15

Score the fudge using a 5-wheel pastry cutter, then turn the fudge block 90 degrees and score again to create even squares.

Step 16

The fudge should now be scored into even squares.

Step 17

Cut the edges of the fudge with a large knife, wiping the knife with a wet kitchen towel after each cut.

Step 18

With the edges neatly squared, the fudge block is now ready to be cut into smaller pieces.

Step 19

Cut the fudge block along the scored lines, wiping the knife with a wet kitchen towel after each cut.Turn the fudge block 90 degrees and push the pieces back together. Finish cutting the fudge using the scored guidelines.

Step 20

Now, you can enjoy perfect pieces of pistachio fudge!
