Ingredients

Scale

Fudge Ingredients

  • 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

Topping Ingredients

  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp honey


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fudge Pan: Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier after setting.
  2. Mix Butter, Sugar, and Vanilla: In a mixer, blend the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring proper incorporation for a rich base.
  3. Add Flour and Salt: Incorporate the microwaved flour and salt into the butter mixture, mixing well to create a consistent batter that will form the fudge’s structure.
  4. Melt White Chocolate and Condensed Milk: Gently melt the white chocolate with the sweetened condensed milk together, either using a double boiler or microwave, and then stir this melted mixture into the flour batter until fully combined.
  5. Fold in Blueberries and Food Coloring: Carefully fold fresh blueberries along with blue and purple food coloring gels into the fudge mixture, dispersing the colors and fruit evenly without breaking the berries.
  6. Pour and Refrigerate: Transfer the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly, then refrigerate it overnight to allow it to set firmly.
  7. Preheat Oven for Topping: Set the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the oat topping.
  8. Prepare Oatmeal Topping: In a bowl, combine oatmeal, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and honey, mixing thoroughly to create a sticky, sweet topping mixture.
  9. Bake the Topping: Spread the oat mixture evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even toasting and golden color.
  10. Cut and Assemble: Once the fudge has set, remove it from the pan and cut into squares.
  11. Add Topping and Blueberries: Sprinkle the baked oatmeal topping and additional fresh blueberries over each fudge square just before serving to add texture and flavor contrast.

Notes

  • Microwaving the flour is a unique step intended to slightly toast it for better texture and flavor; ensure it is cooled before mixing.
  • Use fresh blueberries for best flavor and texture; frozen blueberries could release too much moisture.
  • Adjust food coloring intensity according to your preference to achieve the desired color vibrancy.
  • Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • The baked oatmeal topping adds a crunchy contrast but can be omitted for a softer fudge texture.
