Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Fudge
If you want to try a new fudge recipe, this delicious pumpkin fudge is a great option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tablespoons butter
- dash of salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cream of tarter
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Butter sides of a heavy 2 quart sauce pan. In it, combine sugar, milk, pumpkin, cocoa, pumpkin pie spice, 2T. butter, salt, and cream of tarter.
- Place over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Clip a candy thermometer
to the side of your pan.
- Bring the mixture to soft ball stage (234º).
- Immediately remove from heat: Dot with remaining 2T of butter and let cool to lukewarm (about 110º) without stirring.
- Add vanilla and beat vigorously until fudge becomes thick and begins to lose it’s gloss. An immersion blender
is a wonderful tool for speeding this process up, but a fork works just fine too. At this point, you can add chopped pecans.
- Quickly spread fudge into buttered shallow pan – I use a 9×5 bread pan for this size recipe.
- Score while warm, cut when firm.
- Enjoy!
