🍴 Ingredients (enough for 12 cupcakes or 1 cake)
-
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
-
½ cup (1 stick / 115 g) unsalted butter, softened
-
3–4 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
-
½ cup blueberry puree or thick blueberry jam (see note)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Blueberry Puree (if not using jam)
-
In a saucepan, cook 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries with 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tbsp lemon juice over medium heat until berries burst.
-
Mash and simmer until thick (about 5–7 minutes).
-
Strain if you want a smooth puree, then cool completely before using.
2. Whip the Base
-
Beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
3. Add Flavor
-
Mix in blueberry puree (or jam), vanilla, and salt.
4. Add Sugar
-
Gradually add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until desired sweetness and thickness is reached.
5. Chill (Optional)

If frosting is too soft, refrigerate 20–30 minutes before piping or spreading.
✨ The result is a silky purple frosting with a balance of tangy cream cheese and sweet blueberries.
