Blueberry Buttercream Frosting Recipe

The Best Blueberry Buttercream Frosting for you to pair with almost any cake, cupcake, or dessert—or just eat by the spoonful!

  • Total Time: 15
  • Yield: 6 Cupcakes 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Blueberry Puree

  • 70 g Fresh blueberries
  • ½ tsp Lemon juice
  • A pinch of salt

Blueberry Buttercream Frosting

  • 100 g White couverture chocolate
  • 200 g Unsalted butter
  • 20 g Milk
  • 50 g Icing sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • ¼ tsp Vanilla bean paste
  • 23 drops of Blueberry essence

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, take chopped white couverture chocolate and melt it in the microwave at intervals of 25–30 seconds. Then keep it aside and let it cool.
  2. In a large bowl, place the softened, unsalted butter. With the help of an electric beater, cream the butter until it turns pale and super fluffy.
  3. In a small bowl, mix sifted icing sugar and milk together until the sugar dissolves completely. This trick will help us achieve grit-free buttercream.
  4. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, we’ll add it to the creamed unsalted butter. Using a spatula, mix together to form a smooth buttercream. This process may take some time, and it may initially look separated, but it will come together.
  5. Once the buttercream is looking smooth and silky, it’s the perfect time to add white chocolate and mix.
  6. Now add in salt and vanilla bean paste and simply mix them using a spatula.
  7. For the puree, just blend some fresh blueberries, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a blender and then add it to the frosting. Give it a nice mix.
  8. Lastly, add a few drops of blueberry essence to the frosting and give one last mix. 
  9. Our frosting is now ready! Feel free to pipe it, spread it, or make swirls out of it, just like any other frosting!
