Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Medium saucepan
• Whisk
• 8 or 9-inch baking dish
• Parchment paper
• Rubber spatula
• Toothpick
• Refrigerator

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh or frozen (unthawed) blueberries
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
• 20 oz. white chocolate
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Combine blueberries, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
2. Stir frequently and cook, mashing blueberries slightly, until the mixture has thickened; about 10-12 minutes.
3. Remove from heat, then optionally strain blueberry liquid into a separate bowl and set aside. Take 3 tablespoons and place them in a separate bowl.
4. Grease an 8 or 9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray, then line with parchment paper.
5. Combine sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat and mix, stirring continuously, until melted and smooth, about 8-10 minutes.
6. Stir in butter, vanilla extract, and kosher salt, then remove from heat and stir in all but 3 tablespoons reserved blueberry reduction. Stir 1-3 times, just enough so that blueberry is incorporated, without being too mixed in, then use a rubber spatula and transfer to greased and lined baking dish.
7. Drop small spoonfuls of reserved blueberry reduction onto fudge, then use a toothpick to swirl it into a marbleized pattern.
8. Place in refrigerator or set aside until set, 2-3 hours.
9. Once set, slice into squares and enjoy.

Tips for Success

• Make sure to stir continuously when melting the white chocolate to prevent it from burning.
• For a smoother marble effect, avoid over-mixing the blueberry reduction into the fudge.
• Allow the fudge to fully set in the refrigerator for the best texture.

Additional Tips or Variations

• Try adding a handful of chopped nuts for some crunch.
• Use dark chocolate instead of white chocolate for a richer flavor.
