Main ingredients:
How to make Pumpkin fudge from scratch?Watch the recipe video attached, for easy guidelines. But here are the general steps:
Variations:
How do you make Pumpkin Spice?You can make the homemade spice blend pretty easily. Here is what you will need:
Directions: In a small bowl, mix all the spices together. Transfer to a small jar or spice container. Is evaporated milk the same as condensed milk?Evaporated milk is condensed milk without the added sugar with the water content cooked off until it has a consistency that is similar to cream. Also, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk cannot be used mutually in cooking, because the sugar content in one product is much higher than the other. How long does it last?Home-made fudge will last fairly well. The main risk with fudge is that it dries out and becomes a little crumbly. Also, to better preserve them, store them in an airtight container, and then seal it with a tight-fitting lid. In a cool place, the fudge will keep for about 2 weeks but you can also keep the fudge in the fridge which will extend the life for 3 to 4 weeks. More pumpkin desserts:
How do you freeze it?Fudge can also be frozen in airtight containers for up to 3 months. The temperature in the freezer should be as close to 0°F as possible. In addition, when freezing them, it is best to put pieces of baking parchment paper, or aluminum foil in between the layers. This will help prevent the pieces from freezing together. T0 thaw: They will thaw very quickly at room temperature on the counter. Recipe tips:

This recipe has been added to your favorites. Is fudge better with condensed milk or evaporated milk?Unfortunately, you cannot use evaporated milk instead of condensed milk in fudge. You can substitute evaporated milk for regular milk in many instances, but it will not give the same rich, creamy taste that you get from the sweetened condensed milk.
How long does condensed milk fudge last?Condensed milk fudge will last about 2 weeks at room temperature in an air tight container and about a month if refrigerated. You may individually wrap each fudge piece, place it in an air tight container and freeze it for 3-4 months.
What is pumpkin fudge made of?Once your chocolate is melted, stir in: 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree (I prefer the Libby's brand, do NOT use pumpkin pie filling), 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. You can even use homemade pumpkin puree to make this easy fudge.
How long do you boil fudge?Start checking the fudge for doneness after 10 minutes of boiling. If you are using a thermometer, your fudge is ready when it reaches 235°F. Or go old-school and use the soft ball test.
