White Chocolate & Pistachio Fudge is a luxurious and decadent dessert that is perfect for special occasions or as an indulgent treat to satisfy your sweet tooth. The combination of velvety white chocolate and crunchy pistachio nuts makes for a mouthwatering flavor and texture experience. This fudge recipe is quick and easy to prepare but does require careful attention to detail to ensure it is cooked to perfection. A digital thermometer is essential for this recipe to ensure that the mixture reaches the perfect consistency.

Instructions

1.	Line a 20cm square cake tin with baking parchment.
2.	In a heavy-based saucepan, dissolve the sugar in the cream over a low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
3.	Increase the heat and bring the mixture to the boil. Stir in the white chocolate and glucose syrup then stir until all of the chocolate has melted.
4.	When the mixture reaches 116°C on a digital thermometer, take it off the heat and add the butter. Beat the mixture with a wooden spoon for a few minutes until it becomes less glossy and loses its sheen.
5.	Stir in the pistachios and pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin.
6.	Leave to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
