Ingredients
Scale
Buttercream
- 720 grams powdered sugar (6 cups)
- 170 grams unsalted butter, softened (¾ cup)
- 54 grams blueberry flavor paste (3 tbsp)
- 45 grams whole milk (3 tbsp)
- 1 gram salt (½ teaspoon)
Chocolate Coating
- Chocolate, melted (quantity as needed for dipping)
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8 x 6 quarter sheet pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the buttercream.
- Beat Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter until smooth and creamy, creating the base for your buttercream.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Incorporate Flavor and Salt: Mix in the blueberry flavor paste and salt thoroughly to achieve a balanced, fruity taste.
- Add Milk: Pour in 3 tablespoons of whole milk and continue mixing until the buttercream reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency.
- Chill Buttercream: Spread the prepared buttercream evenly in the lined pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up before cutting.
- Cut Buttercream: Cut the chilled buttercream into 1″ x 1″ squares and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Allow to dry at room temperature for 12–24 hours to develop a slight crust.
- Dip in Chocolate: Dip each buttercream square into melted chocolate, coating completely. Set aside to allow the chocolate to firm up before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality blueberry flavor paste for the best taste.
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for smooth creaming.
- Drying time helps create a firmer center that holds shape when dipped.
- Store finished chocolates in a cool, dry place.
- Adjust sweetness by varying powdered sugar slightly if desired.
