Instructions
Prepare the Blueberry Reduction
Combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir frequently and mash the blueberries gently as they cook. Continue simmering for 10–12 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat.
(Optionally, strain the blueberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove solids.)
Reserve 3 tablespoons of the blueberry reduction in a separate bowl for swirling; set both portions aside.
Prepare the Baking Dish
Grease an 8- or 9-inch baking dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray. Line it with parchment paper, ensuring excess parchment hangs over the edges for easy removal.
Melt the Fudge Base
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate. Stir continuously until the mixture is fully melted and smooth, approximately 8–10 minutes. Add the butter, vanilla extract, and kosher salt. Stir until the butter is fully incorporated, then remove from heat.
Incorporate the Blueberry Reduction
Add the blueberry reduction (excluding the reserved 3 tablespoons) to the fudge mixture. Stir only 1–3 times to create subtle streaks without fully blending the mixture.
Transfer to the Baking Dish
Using a rubber spatula, pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Create the Blueberry Swirl Pattern
Drop small spoonfuls of the reserved blueberry reduction onto the surface of the fudge. Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the reduction into a marbled pattern.
Chill and Set
Refrigerate the fudge for 2–3 hours, or until fully set. Once firm, lift the fudge from the baking dish using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares and serve.
Notes
This recipe can be made gluten-free with simple ingredient checks:
Ensure the white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract are certified gluten-free, as manufacturing practices vary.
Blueberries, lemon juice, cornstarch, butter, and kosher salt are naturally gluten-free.
Avoid cross-contamination by using clean utensils, cookware, and parchment paper.
If serving individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, store the fudge separately from gluten-containing foods.
