fresh blueberry frosting A light, creamy frosting whipped into fluffy blueberry cuteness. A dollop of this frosting is sweet heaven on a cupcake.
I’ve been making Fresh Strawberry Frosting for a few years now and this is the most requested frosting I make. I couldn’t help but switch to making buttercream frosting.
I’ve been a blueberry lover my life and I wondered if I’d love this new frosting as much or even more than the strawberry version. This gluten-free white cake (this time baked into cupcakes) is topped with blueberry frosting.
My helper had a lot of fun swirling the toppings onto each cupcake. Says a mom who knows she’s going to be a teenager.)
Not to mention, this frosting is also great on graham crackers. This is a taste test requirement every time we have frosting in the house.
It shouldn’t surprise you to hear that I’ve made this frosting without cake more than a few times.No shame in my frosting game.

Blueberry Frosting Recipe
- Place about 1½ cups of blueberries in a small food processor or blender and puree until smooth, stopping scraping sides if needed.
- Place the butter in a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth and creamy, then add 1 cup of powdered sugar and beat again. Add another cup of powdered sugar and mix. Add 1/2 cup of blueberry puree and stir again until smooth. Add remaining powdered sugar and vanilla and whisk until smooth and fluffy.
- Add berry puree if desired for a creamier or easier-to-pour icing, or add powdered sugar to create a thicker, more pipeable frosting for decoration.
- Use the remaining berries to decorate the cake as desired. Store decorated cakes and cupcakes in the refrigerator until ready to eat.

Please Note: The instructions in this recipe make more berry puree than you need to make this frosting. I haven’t found a way around this just because it is. You will have a soup-like mixture in your hands.
Save leftover berry puree to add to smoothies or stir into oatmeal. You can also leave it.
