Pumpkin Fudge Recipe
Itโs that time again!! What do I meanโฆwell we add this puree into all the things. I am talking about brownies with pumpkin, into creamer, muffins and all different kinds of treats like this one.
If you made our dark chocolate fudge last year this is yet another creation that needs just a few ingredients, and you can make it ahead of time before guests arrive.
When it comes to fudge itโs 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 arenโt they?
You only need a few ingredients to make it taste great! It contains no milk just pumpkin and white chocolate chips basically so itโs easy to throw together.
I love pumpkin throughout the year and if I can get away with not turning on my stove or oven Iโm all about a recipe like that. This candy treat is quite easy. NO stove, oven or candy thermometer necessary friends. Just nuke, cool and enjoy your fudge set of squares.
It is quite rich so just a little square is all you need to satisfy your pumpkin pie sweet tooth and it saves nicely in the fridge for a good week so you will have some sweets on hand for a little while.
Thatโs right, no sticky marshmallow creme or evaporated milk needed for this one. You donโt even need a can of sweetened condensed milk. Just mix these 4 ingredients and spread into a baking dish to cool. Then slice and enjoy!
If youโre looking for more no bake pumpkin recipes we have another below that is fun and super yummy. 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.

Pumpkin Fudge

- 1 8ร8 pan
- 1 Bowl
Ingredients

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 8ร8 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

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 I like to lay a piece of parchment paper on the bottom before I pour into the prepared pan. This makes it really EASY to lift the whole thing out and slice cleanly. You could prepare the pan with foil but I prefer to use wax or parchment instead. Freezing in the initial cooling stage really solidifies it vs. putting it into your refrigerator.
Want to try making dinner in a microwave too? Itโs 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 cookie in a mug and you wonโt need a stove!
Can I freeze homemade fudge?
Yes, but itโs best to do it uncut. Wrap in plastic wrap, then inside a freezer bag and freeze. Allow to thaw before slicing when youโre ready to enjoy it again. That way it will be smooth and creamy again.
Yes. Pumpkin puree is what you get in the Libbyโs 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.
So easy, perfect for what I was looking for. And the taste is wonderfully fall!
Oh nice idea! Perfect for handing out at Halloween
I love how easy this Fall inspired fudge is to make. Itโs a perfect treat.
This fudge came out great! I canโt believe how easy it is to make. 10/10 recommend this recipe!
This was such a rich and creamy recipe that does not disappoint! Exactly what I needed to cure my sweet tooth, indeed! Easily, a new fall favorite!
@Diane, I had problems with the coconut oil, too.
I made a few alterationsโฆ I used 11oz white chips, 4TBSP coconut oil, 2 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 1 tsp vanilla and 1/3 cup pumpkin purรฉe.
The 11oz chips is because thatโs the sugar free white chip pkg size. (Iโm diabetic, and this recipe offers me the opportunity to make the alterations without altering the amazing flavor!!) The all pumpkin pie spice because I didnโt have the other spices. Vanillaโฆ well, because I love the depth the vanilla brings out. I decreased the coconut oil because I had a reduced amount of chips, and I was adding the vanilla.
Oh my goodnessโฆ best pumpkin fudge recipe Iโve ever tried. I canโt thank you enough for sharing this recipe!!
Glad you loved it
This recipe tastes exactly like pumpkin pie. Itโs amazing.
Have you ever tried a condensed version of this pumpkin fudge as a mug recipe at all? Iโm on the hunt for mug recipes and I think this might make a great one but am not savvy at baking enough to try and figure out the ins and outs of altering.
