Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup salted butter softened
- 16 ounces cream cheese softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh lemons optional
- Fresh berries optional
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries and granulated sugar. Mash the berries with a potato masher, cooking for about 8-10 minutes until the mixture thickens to a jam-like consistency. Allow it to cool to room temperature; refrigerating speeds up this process.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and salted butter until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes for the best texture. Next, add the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until thick and fluffy.
- Slowly incorporate the cooled blueberry reduction into your frosting, mixing until you achieve an even, vibrant color and delightful taste.
- Transfer the frosting into a piping bag and get creative! Use it to decorate cupcakes, layer cakes, or even a bundt cake, showcasing its beautiful hue.
Notes
- Always soften your cream cheese and butter before mixing for a light and fluffy texture!
- Cook the blueberries down until they reach a thick, jam-like consistency—it enhances both flavor and color.
- After frosting, refrigerate your desserts to maintain the frosting's appeal.
- If using frozen blueberries, add them straight from the freezer to the saucepan.
- Feel free to experiment with flavors, adding lemon zest for a refreshing twist!
