It’s that time again!! What do I mean…well when everything is pumpkin, LOVE it! I am obsessed with pumpkin flavored anything right around September and this year we decided to make this easy microwave pumpkin fudge recipe. You’ve got to try this, it’s finger lickin’ good…literally. (originally published 8/16, affiliate links present)
Ready for smooth and creamy pumpkin fudge with NO baking or stovetop required??!!
Yes it is ooey gooey and yes it tastes like a little piece of pumpkin pie goodness in the form of a piece of fudge.
- I know you want a bite! 😉
When it comes to fudge it’s 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 aren’t they?
You only need a few ingredients to make it taste great! It contains no milk just pumpkin and white chocolate chips basically so it’s easy to throw together.
I love pumpkin throughout the year and if I can get away with not turning on my stove or oven I’m all about a recipe like that.
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.
That’s right, no sticky marshmallow creme or evaporated milk needed for this one. You don’t 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 you’re 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.
Here’s what you need to make microwave pumpkin fudge

Best tip: Use paper bowls and spoons to make this, makes the cleanup SO much easier!! AND let your kids help. Since there is no “cooking” or baking required they’ll love getting involved.

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.
How long can you store homemade fudge?
- Leftovers should be kept in your fridge though so they keep their shape.
- Refrigerating fudge in air tight containers can extend its life to two to three weeks.
Can I freeze homemade fudge?
Yes, but it’s best to do it uncut. Wrap in plastic wrap, then inside a freezer bag and freeze. Allow to thaw before slicing when you’re ready to enjoy it again.

I made this for a potluck at work and it very dissapointing. Too eet and too much coconut oil.

Have you ever tried a condensed version of this pumpkin fudge as a mug recipe at all? I’m 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.
