Ingredients
Blueberry Buttercream
- 6 cups (720 grams) powdered sugar
- ¾ cup (170 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tbsp (54 grams) blueberry flavor paste
- 3 tbsp (45 grams) whole milk
- ½ teaspoon (1 gram) salt
Coating
- 1 cup (approximately 170 grams) melted chocolate (dark, milk, or semi-sweet)
Instructions
- Prepare pan: Line an 8 x 6 quarter sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the buttercream block.
- Beat butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until it becomes smooth and creamy, forming the base for the buttercream.
- Add powdered sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar into the butter while mixing continuously to ensure a smooth texture without lumps.
- Mix flavor and salt: Incorporate the blueberry flavor paste and salt into the buttercream mixture, blending evenly.
- Add milk: Pour in 3 tablespoons of whole milk and continue mixing until the buttercream is smooth, spreadable, and fluffy in consistency.
- Chill buttercream: Spread the buttercream evenly in the prepared pan and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up for easier cutting.
- Cut squares: Remove from the fridge and cut into 1 inch by 1 inch squares to form individual bite-sized pieces.
- Dry the squares: Place the cut squares on a parchment-lined tray and let them dry uncovered for 12 to 24 hours to develop a slightly firmer exterior before dipping.
- Dip in chocolate: Dip each buttercream square into melted chocolate, coating completely, then set on parchment paper to allow the chocolate to harden.
Notes
- Use high-quality blueberry flavor paste for the best authentic flavor.
- Ensure butter is softened but not melted for ideal creaming results.
- Drying the squares before dipping helps prevent the chocolate from cracking or melting unevenly.
- Choose your preferred chocolate—dark for less sweetness, milk for creamier taste.
- Store finished chocolates in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
