Tips to make the Blueberry Fudge:

Feel free to watch the recipe video tutorial attached. You will see how easy and simple this recipe is!
Use quality white chocolate, that is the main ingredient so you want it to be the best in order to get the best taste and texture
Also, white chocolate is very pretentious, make sure you don’t rush through melting it. Therefore, melt it in 20 seconds intervals in the microwave, followed by lots of stirring to make sure you do not overheat it. If you overheat the white chocolate, it will clump and separate and it will become unusable, unfortunately.
Equally important, this recipe is not intended to be made with fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries. So you specifically need freeze-dried blueberries.

Instructions

▢
Line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper, so it overhangs on two sides. Set aside.
▢
Add 1 cup of freeze dried blueberries to a food processor. Pulse a few time to slightly chop the fruit. Set aside.
▢
Combine the chocolate wafers and condensed milk in a large, microwave safe bowl.
▢
Microwave in 20 seconds increments and stir after each one very, very well, until the chocolate has melted. It took me two intervals only to melt the chocolate, make sure you stir well before you microwave again, as the remaining heat will melt the chocolate.
▢
Note: If you are using regular chocolate, make sure you chop it into small pieces before adding it to the bowl to microwave.
▢
Stir well until smooth, add the chopped freeze-dried blueberries. Stir well to combine. For a more pronounced purple color, add the gel food coloring.
▢
Pour mixture into the prepared pan. If desired sprinkle freeze-dried dried blueberries on top and pour some melted white chocolate on top. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
▢
Slice the fudge and serve.
▢
Fudge can be stored at room temperature for 1 week in an airtight container for longer in the fridge.
