Ingredients

Blueberry Sauce

1 cup fresh blueberries
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Buttercream Frosting

1½ cups butter
5 cups powdered sugar
¾ cup blueberry sauce, approximately (use all of the blueberry sauce made)

Instructions

Blueberry Sauce

In a small saucepan, add fresh blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
Heat over medium heat, and cook until the blueberries have burst and the sauce has thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and let cool.

Buttercream Frosting

Beat the butter until it is light and creamy.
Gently add the powdered sugar and beat until well blended.
Next, add all of the blueberry sauce once it has cooled completely.
Beat until well combined.
*Makes enough frosting for a 3-layer 9-inch cake, 24 cupcakes, or a sheet cake.

Notes

Tips

Let the blueberry sauce cool completely before mixing it into the frosting.
Use room temperature butter for the smoothest texture.
Beat the butter until light and fluffy before adding sugar.
If the frosting is too soft, chill it for 15-20 minutes before piping.
