Prep: 3 minutes Cook: 10 minutes

To celebrate those we love, cooking something delicious can bring smiles to all faces. Buttercream icing is some of my favorite types of icing and with a mixture of blueberries can make this extra sweet and fun.

Ingredients

• 1 cup softened butter

• 3 cups powdered sugar

• 12 oz (at least) blueberries

• 2 tbls heavy cream

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Salt to taste

• Splash of water

Prep

1. In a pot at medium heat, add a splash of water and the blueberries

2. Stir often and simmer until the blueberries breakdown and liquify. This will be just a bit thick and not completely liquid depending on how much water you added

3. Pour through a strainer to remove the skin and anything else from the mixture

4. Set aside to cool completely

5. In a medium bowl add the softened butter and beat until creamy

6. Mix in the powdered sugar and mix fully to a fun cream

7. Add the heavy cream, vanilla, salt and blueberry liquid

8. Mix fully until you have a creamy icing.

9. This can keep for a couple days in the fridge but needs softened to room temp before trying to spread

Afterthoughts

Buttercream is always a tasty addition to baked treats. Blueberry takes a butter cream and makes it slightly sweet and takes your treats to a new level. This is an easy and fun way to surprise any loved ones.
