Storage and reheating tips
To keep your fudgy treats fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Properly stored, they can last for up to two weeks, though we doubt they’ll last that long! If you need to keep them longer, consider freezing the squares in a single layer, then transferring them to a freezer-safe container. Just be sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Helpful cooking tips
For the best results, make sure to stir the fudge mixture continuously over low heat. This prevents any burning and ensures a smooth consistency. Also, if you’re in a hurry, you can speed up the chilling process by placing the fudge in the freezer for about an hour, just make sure to keep an eye on it!
Creative twists
Feeling adventurous? Try adding a swirl of nut butter into the fudge mixture before it sets for an extra layer of flavor. You could also incorporate different spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to customize it to your liking. Want a visual treat? Top the fudge with festive sprinkles or edible glitter before it cools!
Common questions
How long do I need to chill the fudge?
You should refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours or until it is firm. If you use the freezer method, it may only take around an hour!
Can I substitute the pumpkin puree?
Yes! If you’re not a pumpkin fan, you could use other fruit purees like sweet potato or butternut squash, though the flavor will vary.
How do I know when the fudge is ready to serve?
Once chilled, the fudge should be firm to the touch and easily cut into squares. If it feels too soft, pop it back in the fridge to firm up a bit longer.
