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

  1. Prepare Pan: Line an 8 x 6 quarter sheet pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the buttercream.
  2. Beat Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter until smooth and creamy, creating the base for your buttercream.
  3. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated and smooth.
  4. Incorporate Flavor and Salt: Mix in the blueberry flavor paste and salt thoroughly to achieve a balanced, fruity taste.
  5. Add Milk: Pour in 3 tablespoons of whole milk and continue mixing until the buttercream reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency.
  6. Chill Buttercream: Spread the prepared buttercream evenly in the lined pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up before cutting.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
