If you’re looking for a dessert that’s equal parts fruity and indulgent, Blueberry Fudge is a perfect choice. The tartness of fresh blueberries beautifully complements the creamy sweetness of white chocolate fudge. Whether you’re making it for a party or a cozy treat at home, this recipe is sure to impress.

Ingredients

For the Blueberry Topping:

  • ½ cup frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2½ teaspoons cornstarch

For the White Chocolate Fudge:

  • 3 cups good quality white baking chips
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Blueberry Topping

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the frozen blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.
  2. Cook and Stir: Stir the mixture regularly as it heats, allowing it to bubble and the blueberries to release their juices, which should take about 5 minutes.
  3. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water, then add it to the blueberry mixture. Stir until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and set the topping aside to cool completely.

2. Make the White Chocolate Fudge Base

  1. Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white baking chips and sweetened condensed milk. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
  3. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

3. Add the Blueberry Swirl

  1. Add the Blueberry Topping: Drop spoonfuls of the chilled blueberry topping onto the fudge base. Then, use a toothpick or knife tip to create beautiful swirls and patterns throughout the mixture.
  2. Ensure the swirls are evenly distributed for bursts of blueberry flavor in every bite.

4. Chill and Serve

  1. Refrigerate the fudge for at least 4 hours, or until it sets completely.
  2. Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into squares.
  3. Serve your Blueberry Fudge and watch it vanish as quickly as you made it!

Conclusion:

Blueberry Fudge is the perfect marriage of creamy and fruity flavors. With its vibrant blueberry topping and velvety white chocolate base, this dessert is both visually stunning and delicious. Easy to make yet sophisticated in taste, it’s a must-try recipe for anyone who loves a sweet treat with a berry twist!
