Fresh Blueberry Frosting Ingredients
- 8 ounces fresh blueberries
- 1 cup butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Puree Blueberries: Place about 1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries in a small food processor or blender and puree until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar and beat again. Then add another cup of powdered sugar and mix to combine thoroughly.
- Add Blueberry Puree: Incorporate 1/2 cup of the blueberry puree into the butter and powdered sugar mixture and beat until smooth and creamy.
- Finish Frosting: Add the remaining powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until the frosting is smooth, fluffy, and fully combined.
- Adjust Consistency: For a creamier or more pourable icing, add more blueberry puree. For a thicker, pipe-able frosting suitable for decorating, add additional powdered sugar.
- Decorate and Store: Use the remaining fresh blueberries to decorate your cake or cupcakes as desired. Store the decorated desserts in the refrigerator until ready to serve to keep the frosting fresh. Enjoy!
