I never knew chocolate & pistachio combo could be so delectable! It's actually very addictive! :) Whenever I get free time at office, I let myself have a peek-a -boo on Nigella's videos on Youtube! I find all her videos very fascinating ... the main reason being every single sound is captured well.. the soothing sound of choco chips falling... MMMMMMM... it tempts me very very much! I almost end up being too close to the screen! :D So when I saw the video for this recipe... that was it!!!! I couldn't hold on any more... actually who can when u see the fudge being taken out of the fridge and cut into squares!!! Too much I say ;D So the moment I reached home from office... went straight into our store room, grabbed a tin of condensed milk, a slab of dark chocolate and a bag of unsalted pistachios & then the magic happend!! :) TADA!!! :)

Chocolate Pistachio Fudge:
Originally published by Nigella Lawson
| 350g dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids), chopped |
| 1 x 397g can condensed milk |
| 30g butter |
| pinch salt |
| 150g pistachios |
METHOD
| 1. | Put the chopped chocolate, condensed milk, butter and salt in a heavy-based pan on a low heat, and stir to melt. |
| 2. | Put the nuts into a freezer bag and bash them with a rolling pin, until broken up into both big and little pieces. |
| 3. | Add the nuts to the melted chocolate and condensed milk and stir well to mix. |
| 4. | Pour and spatch this mixture into a foil tray 23cm square, smoothing the top. |
| 5. | Let the fudge cool, and refrigerate until set. You can then cut it into small pieces approx. |
| 6. | 3 x 2.25cm. Cutting 8 x 10 lines in the tin to give 64 pieces best achieves this. |
| 7 | Once cut, it can be kept in the freezer – no need to thaw just eat straight away. Have a great week!! |
I love Nigella's Pistachio Fudge & made it with my daughter quite some time back...wonderful! It's so addictive, & the good thing is that it freezes really well. Bonus, you can eat it right out of the freezer!Yours looks WOW!
