Blueberry Muffin Fudge (Printable Version)

# What You’ll Need:

→ Fudge Base

01 - ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
04 - 1 teaspoon salt
05 - 1 cup fresh blueberries
06 - 1 can (397g) sweetened condensed milk
07 - 2 cups white chocolate chips, melted
08 - 1 teaspoon blue food coloring gel
09 - 1 teaspoon purple food coloring gel

→ Streusel Topping

10 - 1 cup rolled oats
11 - ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
13 - 1 tablespoon honey

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Line a 23x23 cm (9x9 inch) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
02 - In a stand mixer, cream together butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
03 - Microwave the flour in a microwave-safe bowl until it reaches 72°C (160°F) to eliminate any bacteria. Allow to cool slightly.
04 - Add the heat-treated flour to the butter mixture and blend thoroughly.
05 - In a separate bowl, melt the sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate together, then fold into the flour mixture until fully incorporated.
06 - Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, blue food coloring, and purple food coloring until evenly distributed.
07 - Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared pan, spread evenly, and refrigerate overnight until completely set.
08 - Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and honey until well mixed.
09 - Spread the oat mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
10 - Cut the chilled fudge into 5 cm (2 inch) squares. Sprinkle with the baked streusel topping and garnish with additional fresh blueberries before serving.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
02 - For best results, use fresh rather than frozen blueberries to avoid excess moisture.
03 - Heat-treating the flour is an important food safety step when using raw flour in no-bake recipes.
