Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup salted butter, softened
• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 5 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

 

Blueberry Reduction

• In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the blueberries and granulated sugar over medium heat.
• Use a potato masher to break down the blueberries, cooking for 8 to 10 minutes until the blueberries have reduced to a thick jam-like paste.
• Remove cooked fruit from heat and cool to room temperature. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for faster cooling.

Frosting

• Beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
• Add in vanilla extract and beat until combined.
• Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until the frosting is thick and fluffy.
• Beat in the vanilla extract and then the cooled blueberry reduction.

Notes

• This is a softer-set frosting. It will work well for frosting cupcakes or cakes. A basic piping with open tip 1A or star tip 1M is shown here.
• We cook down the blueberries so that it packs a punch of color and flavor into the frosting without adding a bunch of water from the whole fruit.
• If you want to cool your mixture faster, you can transfer it to a bowl and refrigerate it.
• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature, so you don’t end up with lumps in your cream cheese mixture.
• Detailed piping is more suitable with a stiffer frosting. Keep frosted cakes and cupcakes chilled in the refrigerator to keep the frosting intact. If the frosting gets too warm, it will melt.
