Ingredients

Blueberry Sauce

  • ⅓ cup prepared blueberry sauce, cooled

Butter Mix

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch Morton kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Sauce: First, make your blueberry sauce according to your preferred recipe or use a prepared version. Set aside ⅓ cup of this sauce and allow it to cool completely, as it will be incorporated into the butter mixture later.
  2. Beat Butter and Milk: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the softened unsalted butter and milk. Start beating on low speed just to combine the ingredients, then increase the speed to medium-high. Continue to beat for about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl occasionally to ensure even mixing. The mixture should become light and fluffy.
  3. Add Powdered Sugar and Salt: Add the powdered sugar and a pinch of Morton kosher salt to the butter mixture. Beat again on medium-high speed for one more minute until the sugar is fully incorporated and the texture remains fluffy.
  4. Incorporate Blueberry Sauce and Vanilla: Add the cooled blueberry sauce and pure vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat on low speed just until everything is evenly combined, taking care not to overmix so you maintain that fluffy texture.
  5. Serve or Chill: Enjoy the blueberry butter immediately for the creamiest and fluffiest texture. Alternatively, refrigerate it if you want to enjoy it later. Keep in mind, when chilled, the butter will firm up, so let it sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before serving to soften.

Notes

  • Make sure the blueberry sauce is completely cooled before adding it to the butter to prevent melting.
  • Softening the butter to room temperature is crucial for achieving a light and fluffy texture.
  • Adjust powdered sugar quantity to taste if you prefer it sweeter or less sweet.
  • The butter can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Bring chilled butter to room temperature before spreading for best consistency.
