White Chocolate Fudge (Blueberries)
This is a simple white chocolate. The white chocolate base is only 3 ingredients, white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and a little butter. I’ve used both white chocolate chips and high quality white chocolate bars chopped up to make this fudge, so you can do either. But some white chocolate chips don’t melt as well as others.
Blueberry Swirl:
1 cup blueberries
¼ cup sugar
½ Tbsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. lemon juice, freshly squeezed
White Chocolate Fudge:
24 oz white chocolate, such as Ghiradelli (680 g)
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 Tbsp. butter
Lightly butter an 8" baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper, allowing enough excess paper to hang over the sides, forming handles; set aside.
For the Blueberry Swirl:
Add the blueberries, cornstarch, sugar and lemon juice to a small sauce pan. Heat over medium. Bring to a simmer, while stirring and gently smashing the blueberries, until you have a thick, blueberry sauce, about 5 minutes. Push sauce through a fine mesh strainer over a small bowl, and push all the purée through. Set aside in the fridge until you need it.
For the White Chocolate Fudge:
Fill a pot with 2-3" of water and put it over medium heat. Bring the water to a boil and lower the heat to a simmer. Choose a heat-proof bowl that won't touch the water, add the white chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and butter. Place the bowl on the pot and stir until melted and blended.
Scoop about ⅓ of the fudge mixture into the prepared pan. Spoon about ⅓ of the berry sauce over the top. Swirl the berry sauce and the fudge together with a knife. Repeat with another third of the fudge, then the blueberry sauce, then swirl again.
Spread the rest of the white chocolate fudge over the top and spoon the remaining blueberry sauce on top of it. Swirl it again to make a pretty swirl of berry sauce and fudge.
Place fudge in the fridge to harden for at least 2 hours, or until totally set.
Slice fudge into small pieces and serve.
Store any extra fudge in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
How to Store Fudge Made with Condensed Milk:
- Homemade fudge made with condensed milk is quite soft compared to traditional fudge. This means it should be kept in the refrigerator, if left at room temperature it will soften further.
- You can store this lemon fudge in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- You could also store it in the freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
