Creamy Pumpkin Fudge Squares are an easy, 5-ingredient fall treat with silky pumpkin, white chocolate, and warm cinnamon. Perfect for Thanksgiving, potlucks, or gifting, these melt-in-your-mouth squares are a festive twist on classic fudge.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips (340g)
  • 1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, especially if using unsalted butter)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • Festive sprinkles (optional)
  • Pinch of nutmeg or ginger (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving overhang on the sides. Lightly grease if desired.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add white chocolate chips and stir constantly until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour in sweetened condensed milk and pumpkin puree. Stir until the mixture is smooth, glossy, and well combined.
  4. Add ground cinnamon, vanilla extract (if using), pinch of salt, and any additional spices. Stir until evenly colored and fragrant.
  5. Continue stirring over low heat for 2-3 minutes until thick and starting to pull away from the sides. Do not let it boil.
  6. Fold in chopped nuts or dried fruit if desired.
  7. Quickly pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Spread evenly and top with sprinkles, extra cinnamon, or more nuts if desired.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Overnight is best for clean slices. Alternatively, chill in the freezer for 45 minutes.
  9. Lift fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into 16 squares with a sharp, warm knife, wiping between cuts.
  10. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

For best results, use pure pumpkin puree (not pie filling). Chill overnight for clean slices. Add-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or festive sprinkles can be mixed in or sprinkled on top. For dairy-free, substitute coconut condensed milk and vegan white chocolate chips. All main ingredients are gluten-free, but always check labels. Use a warm, sharp knife for neat cuts.
