Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Mixture
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup flour (microwaved)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups white chocolate, melted
- 1 tsp blue food coloring gel
- 1 tsp purple food coloring gel
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup oatmeal
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Prepare the Fudge: Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the fudge after setting.
- Mix Butter, Sugar, and Vanilla: In a mixer, blend the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Flour and Salt: Incorporate the microwaved flour and salt into the mixture, mixing well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Melt Chocolate and Condensed Milk: Gently melt the white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk together in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Once smooth, stir this melted mixture into the flour mixture thoroughly.
- Fold in Blueberries and Food Coloring: Carefully fold the fresh blueberries along with the blue and purple food coloring gels to give the fudge its signature colors and fruity bursts.
- Chill the Fudge: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan and refrigerate it overnight to allow it to set firmly.
- Prepare the Topping: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, combine oatmeal, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and honey, mixing until well incorporated.
- Bake the Topping: Spread the oatmeal mixture evenly onto a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even toasting and caramelization.
- Slice the Fudge: Once the fudge has set, remove it from the refrigerator and cut it into squares of desired size.
- Assemble and Serve: Sprinkle the baked oatmeal topping generously over the fudge squares along with any extra fresh blueberries for garnish and added texture. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Microwaving the flour helps remove moisture and prevent raw flour taste.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen can be used but may add extra moisture.
- Ensure white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk are melted gently to avoid burning or seizing.
- Refrigerate the fudge long enough (overnight) to achieve proper firmness before slicing.
- The baked oatmeal topping adds a crunchy texture contrast to the creamy fudge.
- Food coloring gels are used for vibrant colors without altering consistency.
- Store leftover fudge refrigerated and consume within 5 days for optimal freshness.
