The chocolate pistachio fudge especially struck me because its a no-bake fudge recipe. Any fudge that doesn’t required you to cook it or bake it has to be a winner, right? This one sure is!
Looking for more no-bake recipes? Check out this list of easy no-bake dessert recipes.
This no-bake chocolate fudge only needs 4 ingredients. How much easier can it get?
Oh and also, I hadn’t used pistachios in my baking before this. Look at the gorgeous colour! I got a bag from Nuts and Spices in Chennai because pistachio is crazy expensive in Singapore and they are from India anyway.
Nigella’s No-Bake Chocolate Pistachio Fudge Recipe
Makes 25 squares, approx
Source: Nigella Express
Ingredients:
70% cocoa chocolate buttons or chopped dark chocolate – 1 cup / 175gm
(I don’t recommend chocolate chips for this recipe)
Sweetened condensed milk – 1/2 can / 200gm
Shelled, unsalted pistachios – 1/3 cup
Butter – 2 tbsp
A pinch of salt if using unsalted butter
How to make Chocolate Fudge (No cook, No bake Fudge)
Transfer all the ingredients except the pistachios to a heavy bottomed pan and keep on medium fire until melted and blended well. Throw in the pistas and gently mix well until it all comes together. Don’t cook for more than 5 minutes.
Spread this in a 9″ pan lined with aluminium foil. You can use a smaller pan if you want thicker pieces. Cool to room temperature and set in the fridge until the fudge is firm. Cut into desired pieces and freeze.
ok, this one is on the list next… can I use coco powder instead of chocolate 🙂
yes sure. you will have to estimate the quantities though, since i haven't tried it 🙂
Lovely recipe… going to try this for sure.. But do we have to coat aluminium foil with butter.. As in does the fudge comes out easily??
go ahead and grease the foil if you are worried about the fudge sticking. I don't remember having an issue though
Mine turned out gooey even after 2 hours in the freezer :(..wondering where I went wrong
superb. a must try…yummm
This looks awesome.
Hey Nags, Can you tell me what kind of choclate to be used. Will the normal dairy milk do ..i really really wanna make it. Please let me know.
Thanks
Kamalika
dairy milk may not work Kamalika, you need to use either baking chocolate or compound chocolate. should be available easily in India too 🙂
Thank you so much Cafe Pepela 🙂
Hi Nags,it's my first comment.Your blog is very succesful! Great pics,great recipes,great jobs:)

Yep – this recipe screams Nigella 🙂 and your preparation would have made her proud!
I have been going through the Nigella phase too ever since I was gifted a cookbook on my birthday..there have been 4-5 recipes in the last three months on my blog and more made in my kitchen! Even the latest post is a a Nigella recipe!
Wow, scrumptious! I love pistachio nuts! I wish this could be available everywhere, because I am always on the go and I wont have time to do this at home.
Fabulous treat, yummm!

I remember making these with my daughter after watching Nigella's mesmerizing TV show many years ago, and they were fab! Great recipe, simple, and INDULGENT!! Wonderful post Nags!
Sakshi, that's the sweetest thing to say! I woud have done it if I had someone to film me 😉

I love her shows and watch it often.The fudge looks delicious.
Ironical…I was eating a piece of Cadburys Fruit & Nut chocolate while reading this. At least I'm not 'craving crying' at your fudge. Wait..my chocolate is done…now I'm crying…I need these. And man, I love that pic of the pista! Periya Pista indeed!
bookmarked as i am a fudge fan and loving this. I just made one last week, but it had flour in it, so I am surely making it sometime soon.
Sure would be a treat for chocolate lovers,lovely pictures 🙂
