- 1 cup shelled pistachios 150 g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5 ml
- 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 g

Instructions
- Line the 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later.

- Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Once the fudge is firm, use the edges of the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into 12 squares.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
You can substitute almonds or walnuts for pistachios if you prefer another nut.
For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the fudge mixture.
