This amazing blueberries and cream fudge is a creamy white chocolate fudge swirled with sweet blueberry sauce throughout. It’s made in the microwave and only 7 ingredients!
Nate is obsessed with blueberries. We often debate about what the best berry is, and he will always pick blueberries. So I made this blueberries and cream fudge for him, but I know you’ll all love it too!
This is a simple white chocolate microwave fudge. The white chocolate base is only 3 ingredients, white chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and a little butter. I’ve used both white chocolate chips and high quality white chocolate bars chopped up to make this fudge, so you can do either. But some white chocolate chips don’t melt as well as others. I like Nestle Tollhouse Premier White Morsels.
Although typical microwave fudge holds it’s shape nicely, because the white chocolate of this fudge is mixed up with the blueberry sauce it makes it a little messier. It still holds it’s shape when kept in the fridge, but the sauce does soften a little as it comes to room temperature and gets a little messy, just fyi. It’s a delicious messy though, so it’s worth it.
This blueberries and cream fudge is so easy to make, like I said, it all starts in the microwave. And you can’t beat that.
To make the blueberry sauce, I adapted my berry sauce from my berries and cream crepe recipe. It’s a super simple sauce made with blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. I used fresh blueberries, but you can use frozen as well since it’s being cooked up anyway, you don’t need to worry about how much jucier they might be.
You cook up the berries, sugar and cornstarch together and cook it down for a few minutes, while smashing up the blueberries till a nice thick sauce is there. You’ll push it all through a fine mesh strainer to get rid of the skins.
The blueberry sauce is swirled throughout the melted white chocolate fudge. I did three layers, fudge, swirl, fudge, swirl, fudge, swirl – to make sure the blueberry flavor is in every bite of the fudge.
Let the fudge set in the fridge for a couple hours until it’s totally set. Then it’s ready to slice up and enjoy. The fudge should stay good covered in your fridge for about 1 week.
Since you can use fresh or frozen blueberries, this fudge is the perfect treat to make all year long. It would be delicious to make in the summer with the ripe fresh berries you can get then, but it’s also the perfect nontraditional holiday treat.
How pretty would this fudge be on a dessert plate that you take to a holiday party, or take to your neighbors? Do you take a holiday gift or treat plate to your neighbors around Christmas time?

Hi, love to have had some enjoyment in eating and sharing this amazing looking dish however, me too, I did not read comments before making it! I used white chocolate chips and canned blueberries and followed the recipe to a “T” but it didn’t turn out like I had hoped!
Please, can you tell me what kind of chocolate did you use because I would to love to try it out again but I will make my blueberry mix like yours in the recipe!
Looking forward to your response!
Thank you, S Allan

I use white chocolate chips, so I’m not sure why that didn’t work for you – what did yours look like? Is it not set enough? I’d try adding another 1/2 cup or 1 cup of white chocolate chips if you want to try again. I usually use Nestle Premier White Morsels or Ghiradelli Classic White
Dee says
I was excited to try this recipe and I made it today. Unfortunately, I read the comments after I had already made it, while I was waiting for it to set. And, unfortunately, mine also did not set right. It is not like fudge at all. It’s very sticky and chewy. I followed directions to the letter and it didn’t turn out. I don’t usually add any kind of “liquid” to my fudge recipes, so it seems something with that blueberry sauce is the issue? Thanks.
Aimee says
It shouldn’t really be a liquid when added, more of a jam texture.
Cathy says
Yes, the recipe looked great. It was going to be the special one in my Christmas baking treat boxes. The fudge layers separate and its kind of ugly. Not going in the gift boxes, not making it again and it was an expensive failure
Jessica says
Why did the blueberry swirl not set in my fudge?
Aimee says
It must’ve not cooked down/thickened enough when cooking. It’s never supposed to be as wet as the fudge, more like a cooked jelly. Hope you can still enjoy it!
Brenda says
The blueberries set but the fudge stayed very soft and sticky even when frozen, any suggestions? Taste great but not firm like fudge.
Aimee says
Ah shoot, I’m sorry. It is a soft fudge, but should stay set. You could see if there is a way to add in more chocolate chips, and remelt it – but you’ll have less swirls and maybe more of a blueberry all over fudge? Let me know if you try it.
Alexa says
Looks great!
If making this the night before, do I leave it overnight in the fridge on an open plate, or should I immediately put it in an air-tight container to leave it overnight?
Also, can I omit the cornstarch and still get the same results?
Thanks!
Aimee says
I’d keep it in the fridge the whole time. And the cornstarch helps to thicken the blueberry mixture, so I think you’ll have to cook it down longer if you omit it.
Deb says
Could this be made further in advance and kept in the freezer? These sound perfect for the nurse gifts we want to make for the hospital but not sure I’ll be up to making in my last week of pregnancy.
Aimee says
Fudge usually freezes well, though it may be a little less smooth when thawed. Store it in an airtight container, and make sure to thaw it in the fridge over night and not at room temperature and that should help.
Suzanne says
This looks delicious, thank you for sharing!
Cheznay says
Why did mine never set?
Aimee says
Sorry, I’m not sure! You could try cooking the mixture more to get some liquid out, but then you won’t have the nice swirls
Kelly says
I’m allergic to blueberries. can you make this with any kind of berry?
Aimee says
Yes! It should work with any berry, just make the sauce the same 🙂
