So easy, that you might hate me for opening your world to this sweet, Nutella-flavored, white chocolate-enhanced mini fudge squares, all bursting with juicy blackberries. Because it'll be hard to stop at one square.
But I've done it to you before, and I hope you understand that I'm not trying to sabotage your diet. I'm not trying to make you cave in to every chocolatey craving you encounter. I'm just trying to make the world a better, happier place. Because who isn't happy when there's fudge?
Besides, it has fruit. Which means it's healthy.
And as an added bonus, this recipe will not only make you feel super efficient (since it takes oh, about three minutes to "cook"), but it will also help you test your patience as you wait at least two hours before you can try a mini square.
Combine all the ingredients (except the blackberries) in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat on full power for 1 minute, then remove and stir. Everything would have started to melt but you'll still have some lumps. Heat again in 30-second intervals and stir until the mixture turns smooth. I ended up microwaving everything for a total of 3 minutes.
Scrape the mixture onto an 8×8 baking pan and lightly press the blackberries on top of the fudge. Chill in the fridge for at least two hours, then cut into 1-inch squares.
It's best to keep the mini squares in the freezer until ready to serve. Each candy-like square has the right amount of richness and sweetness, nicely offset by the mellow tartness of the fresh blackberries.
Of course if you don't want any fruit in your fudge, you can just sprinkle some espresso salt on top. Or leave it plain. But using blackberries automatically makes the fudge squares taste fresher and lighter.
Now that I've made the world a better place because of fudge, I'm going to work on world peace next.
Huzzah for this recipe! These were AMAZING!!! I am so happy I was able to have "several" pieces when you made them. I foresee me making many of these in the near future!
I so rarely see fresh fruit in fudge. Looks interesting!
I welcome the chocolate recipes:-) Love the addition of berries for summer!
This is so creative!! I would love blackberries or any type of berry for that matter, in my fudge.
You said the magic word – Nutella and then topped it off with a berry! I am not sure it could get any better!
Loving all your little dessert bites! I'm not surprised to see nutella in the ingredient list and bet it goes wonderfully with berries!
I love nothing more than chocolate and berries together! This looks absolutely fabulous!
What a fun idea! I'd never have thought to put fresh fruit in fudge… looks great. Plus I love the combo of chocolate and fresh fruit!
Way too easy! And I've never seen blackberries in fudge, but I love this idea!
aaand I'm officially drooling. Yum!
Every time I come here, my diet becomes more and more of a figment of my imagination. So bring it on.
Um, so I have all of the ingredients (minus the blackberries). This definitely qualifies as a clean-out-the pantry meal!
So easy and delicious!! I love it! I'll have to try it with the raspberries or strawberries that I just bought.
Oh my goodness!!!!! I am making these this weekend!!!! They look incredible.
These look INCREDIBLE! I really wish I had one of these for dessert right now.
How cute! I love the berries on top!
My life would definitely be filled with a little more happiness if I had these in my fridge! I love how easy they are, and that you could use just about any berry on top!
Um. YUM! These look SO good!
I haven't made sweet things in a while, but I totally want to make these…like NOW. I've been on the hunt for delicious grain-free desserts Thanks for sharing!
I am definitely happier when there is fudge around. My husband just recently became obsessed with Nutella so I'm sure he would LOVE these!!!
