Blueberry Topping
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1½ teaspoons cornstarch
Fudge Base
- 3 cups white baking chips (Nestle recommended)
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy lifting. Lightly spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Cook Blueberry Mixture: In a 1 to 2-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, combine frozen blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir constantly to break up the berries and bring to a low simmer. Cook until the mixture thickens to a pie filling consistency, about 8-10 minutes.
- Strain and Chill: Place a fine-mesh strainer over a medium bowl. Pour the blueberry mixture through the strainer, using a silicone spatula to press the thickened topping through, discarding the hulls. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to chill.
- Melt White Chocolate: Place white baking chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted. Avoid overheating to prevent graininess.
- Warm Condensed Milk: In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the sweetened condensed milk for 45 seconds to 1 minute until warm but not boiling.
- Combine Chocolate and Milk: Stir the warmed condensed milk into the melted white chocolate mixture. Initially grainy, continue stirring until smooth.
- Fold in Blueberry Topping: Add the chilled blueberry topping on top of the white chocolate mixture without stirring. Gently fold the blueberry topping into the fudge base no more than three times to create a marbled effect.
- Chill the Fudge: Pour the marbled fudge into the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for 3-4 hours until set.
- Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the fudge from the dish. Cut into 6×6 slices carefully with a sharp knife. Keep refrigerated until serving.
Notes
- Use frozen blueberries to help the thickening process.
- Do not overheat white chocolate to avoid grainy texture.
- Folding gently creates a beautiful marbled pattern rather than mixing completely.
- Keep fudge refrigerated to maintain firmness.
- You can substitute white baking chips with white chocolate bars chopped finely if needed.
