Blueberry Cream Cheese Frosting
This blueberry cream cheese frosting is a luscious blend of real blueberries, tangy cream cheese, and a hint of vanilla, whipped until smooth and fluffy—perfect for cakes, cupcakes, or even pancakes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries or frozen, thawed and drained
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ cup 1 stick salted butter, softened
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 3 to 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Simmer blueberries and sugar in a saucepan, mashing the berries as they cook.
- Stir for 8–10 minutes until thick like jam. It’s ready when a spoon dragged through leaves a clear path.
- Transfer to a shallow bowl and cool fully at room temp or in the fridge. It must be cold to prevent frosting from separating.
- Beat softened cream cheese and butter on medium-high for 2–3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
- Mix in vanilla. Gradually add 3–4 cups of powdered sugar, beating on low, then medium-high until spreadable.
- Slowly beat in the cooled blueberry mixture. Beat 1 more minute until evenly combined and pale purple.
