Instructions

• 1 Begin by measuring all of the ingredients you will need for the chocolate
  pistachio fudge recipe.
• 2 In a saucepan, fill 1/3 of the way with water and bring it to a simmer. Then,
  turn down the heat to low.
• 3 Place a large bowl over the pot, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water.
• 4 Combine chocolate chips, condensed milk, butter, and vanilla extract in the
  bowl.
• 5 Mix continuously with a silicone spatula.
• 6 The mixture is ready when the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture reaches
  a smooth consistency.
• 7 Add pistachio nuts into the fudge mixture.
• 8 Gently fold the pistachios into the fudge mixture using a silicone spatula.
• 9 Line a cheesecake pan with parchment paper.
• 10 Transfer the fudge mixture into the cheesecake pan.
• 11 Use the silicone spatula to spread and smooth the fudge mixture evenly in the
  pan.
• 12 Sprinkle crushed pistachios on top of the fudge.
• 13 Gently press the nuts into the fudge with a clean silicone spatula.
• 14 Refrigerate the fudge for 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set.
• 15 Once the fudge has hardened, prepare a cutting board, disposable gloves, and a
  large knife for cutting.
  
  Remove the fudge from the fridge.
• 16 Peel it off the parchment paper. Place it on the cutting board.
• 17 Score the fudge using a 5-wheel pastry cutter.
• 18 Turn the fudge block 90 degrees and score again to ensure even squares.
• 19 Cut the fudge block along the scored lines, wiping the knife with a wet kitchen
  towel after each cut.
• 20 Push the cut pieces together to maintain their shape.
• 21 Turn the fudge block 90 degrees and finish cutting the fudge using the scored
  guidelines.
• 22 Now, you should have perfectly squared pieces of fudge ready to enjoy!
