Description
Blueberry Pie Fudge blends creamy white chocolate, juicy blueberry flavor, and buttery pie-crust notes into a melt-in-your-mouth square. It’s a no-bake treat that’s simple enough for beginners yet elegant enough for gifting—think blueberry pie, reimagined as silky, swirled fudge.
Ingredients
- White chocolate chips
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Unsalted butter
- Vanilla extract
- Dried or freeze-dried blueberries
- Pie crust crumbles or graham cracker crumbs
- Optional: Lemon zest (for lemon blueberry fudge) or cream cheese (for cheesecake-style fudge)
Instructions
- Prep pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
- Melt base: Over low heat, gently melt white chocolate chips, butter, and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla (and lemon zest, if using).
- Add blueberries: Fold in freeze-dried blueberries or swirl in a quick blueberry compote for a marbled effect.
- Layer & set: Sprinkle pie crust or graham crumbs into the pan. Pour in fudge mixture and spread evenly.
- Chill & slice: Refrigerate at least 4 hours, then lift out by parchment and cut into squares.
Notes
- Best texture: Use good-quality white chocolate and melt low and slow to avoid scorching.
- No fresh fruit: Stick to dried or freeze-dried blueberries (fresh adds too much moisture).
- Cheesecake twist: Blend softened cream cheese into the warm base before chilling.
- Lemon variation: Add lemon zest for a bright, tangy balance.
- Clean cuts: Chill fully before slicing; wipe the knife between cuts.
- Presentation: Drizzle with melted white chocolate, dust with powdered sugar, or top each piece with a single blueberry.
- Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 weeks. Freeze (well wrapped) up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Troubleshooting: If fudge doesn’t set, chill longer, freeze briefly, or re-melt with a bit more white chocolate.
- Flavor friends: Lemon, almond, and vanilla pair beautifully with blueberry.
