This recipe is one of those ideas.
Fudge, that tastes like blueberry, that looks like a pie. I have no idea where this idea came to me. Possibly when I was out running, because that’s what I do to get through the torture. {I think about fabulous desserts so that by the time I get home I’m totally famished and scarf poptarts because, hey, I just went for a run.}
Then I got an email from a company called Lucky Leaf. Have you heard of them?
They make premium pie fillings for fruit and cream pies, as well as applesauce and apple juice. They make PIE FILLING, yo. I mean, could it have been a more perfect fit? I responded to the email so fast I think I got carpel tunnel.
I waited (im)patiently for my box to arrive. And to my absolute, sheer delight, I received a can of their blueberry pie filling!
Also, they shared strawberry and peach, as well as a cool ice pop mold and some recipes.
But you know me and recipes. I, um, don’t follow them.
So anyways, after I got over the glee of having blueberry pie filling to play with, I went about making this recipe.
My first try was using my traditional fudge recipe (fruit of the Gods sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate chips) and well, it didn’t work. It was almost one of those “bummed” moments.
And then I remembered all those recipes for two-ingredient fudge awhile back. You know, the ones that used a can of frosting and chocolate chips? Well, the blueberry pie filling was sorta like a can of frosting. It’s sweet and thick and delicious. So I made two ingredient fudge – with blueberry pie filling and white chocolate.
And then I added a lattice on top. Because it wouldn’t be good fudge without a crust.
Definitely an excited moment recipe. And it’s kinda pretty too.
Now I can’t wait to use my other Lucky Leaf pie fillings. Strawberry and peach….now I have some running thinking to do. And I want to get some of their chocolate cream and lemon cream…they sound so good!
Blueberry Pie Fudge
Ingredients
- 1 ready-made pie crust (from a pack of 2)
- ¾ cup blueberry pie filling
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Unroll pie crust. (If it begins to stick or crack, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes until it unrolls smoothly.)
- Working on a cutting board and using a straightedge (I used the side of the pie crust box) slice the pie crust vertically into even slices, about ½ inch thick. Lay out a piece of parchment paper (cut to the size of a large cookie sheet). Starting at the left of the pie crust slices, move every other slice to the parchment paper. Place about ½” apart from each other, so that it looks like a striped pie crust. Weave the rest of your strips into the ones you’ve just laid out, one at a time, to make a lattice pattern.
- Place a 9” cake pan upside down on top of your lattice. Cut around to make a circle that will fit inside it. Remove excess crust edges, transfer parchment paper to a baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, until golden. Remove from oven and prepare fudge.
- Line 9” cake pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Place ½ can of blueberry pie filling in a blender and puree. Reserve ¾ cup.
- Melt white chocolate in a large bowl in microwave on 30 second intervals, stirring between each. Heat until melted through. Stir in blueberry pie filling and spread in 9” cake pan. Carefully top with lattice crust and chill until firm enough to cut. Store in refrigerator. (This fudge is softer than traditional cooked fudge.)

I ditto Kristin’s comment above…I was thinking the very same thing…HOW DO YOU THINK OF THESE THINGS??? This is pretty amazing…I would LOVE to be given pie filling to make recipes with. You are quite the creative genius….and your photo is just too cute!
You really are crazy (for crust)! Who thinks of these things?!? That would be so much fun for a kid’s party. You could make all different flavors. And sweetened condensed milk is indeed a godly fruit.
That is awesome! Great job! (both on the running and the fudge!)
Yes! Yum! YUM. Blueberry pie fudge?! I’m so glad you’re my genius best friend 🙂 the fudge is gorge, by the way.
Thanks Hayley! I should have brought you some. I’m still eating it, ha.
You’ve peaked my interest, yo! Very creative! Sound yummy and the lattice looks beautiful!
