Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • ½ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cup Salted Butter
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese
  • 4 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Method
 

  1. Prepare Blueberries: Begin by combining fresh blueberries and granulated sugar in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, mashing the blueberries with a potato masher as they soften.
  2. Cook Down: Allow the mixture to simmer for 8-10 minutes. You'll know it's ready when it thickens into a jam-like consistency, full of that gorgeous blueberry color.
  3. Cool the Puree: Once thickened, remove from heat and let the blueberry puree cool to room temperature. To speed this up, you can pop it in the fridge for a few minutes.
  4. Beat Cream Cheese and Butter: In a stand mixer, beat together the softened cream cheese and salted butter until fluffy and creamy. This will give your frosting a rich texture.
  5. Incorporate Sugar: Gradually add in the powdered sugar while mixing on low speed, then increase to medium-high. Continue mixing until the frosting is thick and smooth—about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Add Vanilla and Blueberry: Gently fold in the vanilla extract, followed by the cooled blueberry reduction. Mix until everything is beautifully combined and has that stunning, vibrant hue.
  7. Frost Your Treats: Transfer the luscious frosting to a piping bag and get ready to frost your favorite cupcakes, cakes, or even bundt cakes.

Notes

  • Soften Ingredients: Always allow your butter and cream cheese to soften before mixing. This ensures a fluffy texture for your Blueberry Cream Cheese Frosting.
  • Cool Blueberry Puree: Don’t rush! Let your blueberry reduction cool completely before adding it to the frosting to prevent it from melting the cream cheese.
  • Piping Precision: For beautiful piping, chill the frosted cakes or cupcakes. If frosting feels too warm during decorating, it may melt away from the dessert.
  • Flavor Punch: Cooking the blueberries concentrates their flavor without added moisture, enhancing the overall taste of your frosting while keeping it thick and spreadable.
  • Adjusting Sweetness: Taste your frosting as you add powdered sugar. Adjust sweetness according to your preference, ensuring the blueberries shine through!
