White Chocolate Pistachio Cranberry Fudge is soft, crunchy, and popping with festive colors and flavors! Made with just five simple ingredients, this is an easy holiday treat that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- Sweetened condensed milk
- White chocolate chips
- Vanilla extract
- Dried cranberries
- pistachios
No Tempering Required
Sweetened condensed milk gives white chocolate fudge a smooth, creamy texture and eliminates the need for tempering or a candy thermometer. This easy fudge recipe is also made without butter—unlike traditional chocolate fudge, which uses milk and butter and requires a careful tempering process.
So what makes it work? The secret is white chocolate. Technically it is not “real” chocolate because it does not contain cocoa solids, but it still provides a rich, melt-in-the-mouth sweet taste. Toasting white chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars contains just enough oil to keep the fudge soft and sliceable, rather than completely set.
The best pan for making fudge
I prefer to use a classic 8×8 inch (20 x 20 cm) glass square baking dish lined with parchment paper. The parchment makes it easy to lift the fudge from the pan for clean and easy slicing.
White Chocolate Cranberry Pistachio Fudge is best served at room temperature. After placing in the refrigerator, let it rest at room temperature before cutting into small cubes with a sharp knife to get the best texture and taste.
Christmas fudge makes the perfect gift
This festive fudge is the sweetest way to spread holiday cheer! Pack the creamy, colorful boxes in clear plastic or party favor bags, stack them neatly, and tie them with a pretty ribbon or label. This is a homemade gift that looks as amazing as it tastes—and it’s so easy to make!
A more festive white chocolate treat
Keeping with the holiday theme, I also made White Chocolate Cranberry Pistachio Bark—simple and irresistible. And why stop there? Pour yourself a cup of White Hot Chocolate, or try my White Chocolate Florentine Cookies. Now that’s what I call the ultimate holiday fun!
Storing Homemade Fudge
To keep your homemade fudge fresh and delicious:
- Room temperature: Store fudge in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks. Store in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Cooling: For longer storage, refrigerate fudge in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature before serving for the best texture and taste.
- Freezing: To extend its shelf life, freeze the fudge. Wrap each piece in parchment paper or plastic wrap, place in an airtight container or freezer bag, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before enjoying.

- Cut 2 pieces of parchment paper measuring 15 x 8 inches (38 x 20 cm).
- Place into an 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm) square baking dish, one in each direction with a slight overlap. This is to help easily remove the fudge from the pan. If you add ingredients for a larger portion, you will need to use a larger pan.

- Turn off the heat and let it cool slightly. Add the white chocolate little by little while stirring until slowly mixed. Keep stirring until the chocolate melts. Add vanilla extract, cranberries, and pistachios, stir until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until cooked.
- Once it hardens, take it out and store it at room temperature. Cut into 2 x 2 inch (5 x 5 cm) squares.
