Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. Combine 1 ½ cups of blueberries, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook for about 5 minutes until the blueberries break down.
  2. Use a fine mesh strainer to separate the liquid from the solids and collect the blueberry juice in a bowl.
  3. Return the blueberry juice to the saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes until it reduces by half. Let it cool to room temperature.
  4. In a stand mixer, combine 1 cup of room temperature unsalted butter and 4 cups of sifted powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gradually add the cooled blueberry reduction while mixing until fully incorporated and achieving a velvety texture.
