Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 4 cups powdered sugar sifted
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Combine 1 ½ cups blueberries, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook for 10-12 minutes until softened into a thick puree.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding the skins and seeds. Allow to cool slightly.
- Return the strained juice to the saucepan and simmer for 5-7 minutes until reduced by half. Cool completely.
- Beat 1 cup unsalted butter in a stand mixer for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 4 cups sifted powdered sugar, mixing on low then increasing to medium until smooth.
- Drizzle in the cooled blueberry reduction and mix on low. Increase speed and whip for 1-2 minutes until smooth and pastel-colored.
- If not using immediately, store in an airtight container, refrigerating for up to a week or freezing for up to three months.
Notes
- Cool Completely: Ensure your blueberry reduction is fully cooled before mixing.
- Sift Powdered Sugar: Helps prevent lumps for smooth frosting.
- Mix Gradually: Add blueberry reduction slowly to ensure fluffiness.
- Storage Know-How: Warm to room temperature for easy spreading.
- Avoid Overheating: Simmer gently to prevent burning.
