Pistachio Cream Cheese Fudge
The best way to eat pistachios is well...in anything. But in fudge is pretty awesome. I challenge you to eat just one piece! NOT possible!
I am pretty sure you will love this fudge. It is seriously delicious. What's not to love about pistachios and sugar? I have used icing sugar for a reason. This isn’t cooked fudge, so there is no opportunity for the sugar to melt. By all means, in the time honoured Thermomix tradition, make your own, but don’t talk to me about texture. Better to use purchased sugar, as suggested, and save yourself the grit factor.
