I created this blueberry fudge last summer when my garden was overflowing with fresh berries. The idea came from my grandma's muffin recipe mixed with my love for easy no-bake treats. Now my kids beg for it whenever they spot blueberries in the store. The sweet white chocolate mixed with juicy berries makes a fudge that tastes just like their favorite muffins.
What Makes This Fudge Special
This fudge looks gorgeous on a plate with its natural blue swirls. My neighbors ask for the recipe whenever I bring it to backyard BBQs. I love making a big batch to give as gifts during the holidays. The best part? No oven needed on hot summer days.
Everything You Need
- Main Stuff:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (warm it up in microwave)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- Blue and purple food coloring if you want
- For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp honey
Making Your Fudge
- First Step
- Grab a 9x9 pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Start the Base
- Mix your butter sugar and vanilla in a bowl until creamy. Heat up the flour in the microwave then stir it into your butter mix.
- Get the Chocolate Ready
- Put your white chocolate and condensed milk in a bowl. Microwave in short bursts stirring until its smooth. Pour this into your first mixture and stir it up good.
- Time for Berries
- Toss in your blueberries. If you want that pretty color swirl in some blue and purple food coloring.
- Let it Set
- Pour everything in your pan spread it out nice and pop it in the fridge overnight.
Make It Different
Sometimes I drizzle white chocolate on top instead of the oats. Crushed graham crackers work great too. My mom adds lemon zest to hers and its amazing with the blueberries.
The Crunchy Topping
Take your parchment paper and cover a baking sheet. Mix your oats brown sugar vanilla and honey in a bowl. Spread it on the sheet and bake at 400° for about 10 minutes. Give it a stir now and then until it looks golden. Let it cool before you put it on the fudge.

Finishing Touches
Once your fudge is nice and cold cut it into squares. Sprinkle that yummy oat mix on top and maybe add some fresh blueberries if you want it looking fancy. I like mine at room temp when its super creamy but straight from the fridge is good too.
My Kitchen Notes
Fresh berries work better than frozen ones cause they wont make your fudge watery. Go easy with the food coloring you can always add more. Make sure its totally cold before cutting or itll get messy.
Storing Your Fudge
Keep it in a container on the counter for 3 days tops. Put it in the fridge if you like it firm. You can even freeze it just wrap it up good and itll last 3 months. Let it thaw in the fridge when youre ready to eat it.

Removes raw flour taste and makes it safe to eat in no-bake treats.
- → Tips for marbling colors?
Just one turn of mixer for each color. Too much mixing makes it all one color.
- → Fresh or frozen berries?
Fresh work best - dry them well. Frozen can make fudge too wet.
- → Topping burning?
Watch carefully and stir often. Oats go from golden to burnt quickly.

Overnight chill gives best texture. Quick chilling might leave it too soft.
