  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • 8x8-inch baking pan

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Pan
  2. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  3. Cook the Base
  4. In a saucepan, combine butter, sugars, pumpkin purée, evaporated milk, and pumpkin pie spice. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly for about 10–12 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Add the Chocolate & Vanilla
  6. Remove from heat and stir in white chocolate chips, vanilla, and salt. Stir until melted and smooth.
  7. Pour & Chill
  8. Pour mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  9. Cut & Serve
  10. Once set, lift out using parchment paper and cut into squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts on top before chilling.
White chocolate melts quickly — stir continuously to avoid scorching.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
