Ingredients
Scale
Fudge Base
- 2½ cups white chocolate chips
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- pinch of salt
Add-ins
- ½ cup dried blueberries
- ½ cup crushed blueberry muffin crumbs (from 1 small baked or store-bought muffin)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and clean-up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the mixture is fully melted and smooth, ensuring it does not burn.
- Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor profile of the fudge base.
- Mix in Blueberries and Crumbs: Gently fold in the dried blueberries and half of the crushed blueberry muffin crumbs, distributing them evenly without breaking up the texture too much.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth the top for an even layer.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the remaining muffin crumbs on top of the fudge and lightly press them in to adhere.
- Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours until the fudge is firm and set.
- Serve: Once firm, cut into 25 small squares. Serve chilled or bring to room temperature for a softer texture.
Notes
- Lemon zest adds brightness but can be omitted for a richer and creamier fudge.
- For extra texture and flavor, gently toast the muffin crumbs before mixing them into the fudge base.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
