Blueberry cream cheese frosting is a creamy, fruity twist on traditional frosting, made with a fresh blueberry reduction blended into a smooth cream cheese base. This vibrant purple frosting is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or pastries—adding a tangy, sweet pop of flavor with beautiful natural color.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3–4 cups powdered sugar (adjust for consistency)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine blueberries and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries burst and mixture thickens.
  3. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove skins. Let cool completely.
  4. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  5. Add the cooled blueberry reduction and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  6. Gradually beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness. Mix well before using.

Notes

  • Frozen blueberries can be used—just reduce the mixture longer to remove excess liquid.
  • For extra smooth texture, blend the blueberry mixture before straining.
  • Add lemon zest or juice for more tartness.
  • Fold in whipped cream for a mousse-like frosting.
  • Use dairy-free substitutes to make it vegan.
  • If frosting is too soft, chill and add more powdered sugar.
