This year, I think I am even excited about the holidays. It's important that we enjoy these special days, and what's better than baking desserts in the kitchen with your family for the holidays?
This year for Thanksgiving desserts, I have thought of making these pumpkin Cheesecake Fudge. I'm sure you people are going to love it.
Ingredients I have used
To make this Pumpkin Cheesecake Fudge I have used the following ingredients:
- 7 oz White Chocolate - White Chocolate is the most important thing about this fudge.
- 1 stick Unsalted Butter - Butter is required to melt the White Chocolate. When White Chocolate melts with butter, it turns out to be smooth and creamy.
- 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree - I have used Canned Pumpkin Puree. It's thick and easy to use.
- 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice - I have used Pumpkin Pie spice to flavor these Fudges.
- 1/4 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk - Sweetened Condensed Milk adds the perfect amount of sweetness to these Fudges.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract - Just a hint of Vanilla makes it feel like a holiday dessert.
Making the Pumpkin Cheesecake Fudge
To make this Pumpkin Cheesecake Fudge -
First - Melt the White Chocolate. Temper the White chocolate with Butter and melt it in the microwave with 30 seconds bursts. Whisk until it reaches 28C or 84F. Use an oven thermometer to check the temperature of the melted white chocolate.
Second - Combine White chocolate with Cream Cheese, Pumpkin Puree, Pumpkin Pie Spice, Condensed Milk, and Vanilla Extract. Mix everything well. If you see lumps or the chocolate has hardened, then pop it on the oven for 30 seconds and mix well. Do this until you have a smooth and lump-free fudge batter ready.
Line a loaf tin with foil and pour the batter in it. Pop it in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
Third - After 2 hours, get it out of the Pan and remove the foil. Warm a knife by dipping it in hot water and use it to cut out sharp squares of your Pumpkin Cheesecake Fudge.
Keep wiping the knife with a cloth towel, so that there is nothing stuck onto it, which might come in the way of a sharp cut.
Melting White Chocolate like a Pro
So, there's a lot of confusion as to how to perfectly melt a white cholate. Well, here are some tips which will surely help you out.
- Melt it in the oven with some butter.
- Melt the White Chocolate in the oven at 30 seconds bursts. Keep stirring it vigorously with a wooden or silicone spatula.
- Keep popping it in the oven and mixing it until its smooth and lump-free.
- Next, open the freezer and place it there. Whisk it while it's kept in the freezer. The cool air of the freezer will cool down the chocolate and thin it out.
- Mixing the white chocolate continuously is very important for smooth and silky melted white chocolate.
So, this was all about this Pumpkin Cheesecake Fudge. You can add some chopped Pecan Nuts to this as well. To make it low carb, you skip the butter.

Is the condensed milk in this recipe sweetened condensed milk or evaporated milk?
Anjali says
Hi, this recipe calls for Sweetened Condensed Milk.
Colleen says
I cant eat white chocolate, can this be done with semi sweet?
Anjali says
Yes, I don't see why not. You can definitely go with semi sweet chocolate.
Angie says
Does this need to be refrigerated?
Anjali says
No. Once its frozen you can serve this immediately. You can refrigerate leftovers.
sheryl lord says
just curious.....why would you use an oven, when a microwave would do the same job, w/o heating up your kitchen and is easier on your utility bill?
Anjali says
yeah you can easily use a microwave! its upto you.
Priscilla says
When make 2x amount, do you mean one brick of cream cheese or 2 8oz bricks of cream cheese? It says 16oz which would mean two bricks, not one. Thanks!
Surup says
