Ensure the butter is very soft before mixing and beat it well until fluffy—this gives a spreadable texture.

Can frozen blueberries be used?

Yes, thaw and pat dry frozen blueberries well before pureeing to avoid excess moisture in the mixture.

How do you fix seized or stiff butter?

If the mixture stiffens, gently warm it in short microwave bursts, then whip again to restore creaminess.

Spread it generously on toasted bread, bagels, pancakes, or even warm muffins for a fruity upgrade.

How should leftovers be stored?

Ingredients

→ Base

01 210 g fresh blueberries, washed and at room temperature

02 227 g salted butter, softened (approximately 1 cup or 2 sticks)

→ Sweetener

03 86–115 g powdered sugar, to taste (approximately 3/4–1 cup)

→ Flavouring

04 Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)

05 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

→ Consistency Enhancement

06 1–2 tablespoons whole milk, at room temperature if needed

Steps

Step 01

Place blueberries in a food processor and blend until mostly smooth, leaving small chunks for texture. Set aside.

Step 02

Add softened butter, lemon zest, and a portion of the powdered sugar to a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat on low to combine, then increase speed to medium until the mixture becomes fluffy and smooth, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 03

Add the blueberry puree and vanilla to the whipped butter mixture. Continue to beat until fully combined and airy, adjusting with the remaining powdered sugar and milk to achieve desired sweetness and spreadable consistency.

Step 04

Serve immediately. For storage, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Allow to soften at room temperature before serving. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 6 months; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before use.

Notes

Ensure butter is very soft—not melted—for a fluffy, spreadable consistency. Allow berries and milk to reach room temperature for easy mixing and to prevent seizing.
If the butter mixture seizes and becomes dense, microwave on 50% power in short bursts, then re-whip. If it melts excessively, briefly chill and whip again.
Begin with less powdered sugar, tasting and increasing sweetness as desired.
