Blueberry Buttercreams
Hannah Gray
This Blueberry Flavor Paste infuses the buttercream with a rich, true-to-fruit blueberry flavor. This paste creates a smooth, luscious buttercream with just the right balance of sweetness and tartness, pairing beautifully with dark chocolate for a perfectly indulgent treat.
Ingredients
- 6 C / 720 g Powdered Sugar
- ¾ C / 170 g Unsalted Butter, Softned
- 3 Tbsp / 54 g Blueberry Flavor Paste
- 3 Tbsp / 45 g Milk
- ¼ tsp of Salt
- 1 lbs / 0.6 kg Dark Chocolate, Tempered
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the Blueberry Flavor Paste and salt until fully incorporated.
Add the milk and continue mixing until the buttercream is smooth and spreadable.
Spread the mixture evenly into a parchment-lined pan. Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
Slice into 1” x 1” squares and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them sit at room temperature for 12 hours to “cure” or dry before dipping in chocolate. No refrigeration needed after this step.
Assembly
*Temper the dark chocolate
Once the buttercream squares have cured, dip each square into the tempered chocolate and place back on parchment to set.
Let the chocolate set at room temperature before serving or packaging.
