Pumpkin Chai Fudge RecipePumpkin Fudge is very popular in our house. The last time I was making it, I decided to combine the flavors of my Chai Tea Fudge with my Pumpkin fudge. I tweaked both recipes a little and came up with a new family favorite. I steeped Chai Tea in the evaporated milk and then add extra spices to create a uniquely flavorful fudge recipe.

Traditional Chai spices includes cardamon which can be expensive. But a little cardamon goes a long way. When it goes on sale, you will want to pick up a bottle and use it to add a distinct flavor to your desserts. However, if you don't have cardamon in your pantry right now, you can leave it out. You will still have a totally awesome pumpkin fudge without it.

      I have never had that problem. Are you sure it reached 234 degrees when you were boiling it? That is the only thing I can think that would keep it from setting.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
