Here’s my favorite way to make blackberry buttercream with fresh berries 😍

Описание: BLACKBERRY BUTTERCREAM (recipe below) 🖤 pureeing and reducing the blackberries is the KEY to getting the perfect blackberry flavor in this frosting while maintaining the ideal consistency for cake decorating! And that natural color 😍 
 
BLACKBERRY BUTTERCREAM 
Yield: 3 Cups 
 
INGREDIENTS 
5 Oz (1 Cup) fresh or frozen blackberries 
1 Cup (226g) unsalted butter, room temperature 
3 1/2 Cups (420g) powdered sugar 
pinch of salt 
 
INSTRUCTIONS 
1. Make the Blackberry Puree: Using a food processor, puree the blackberries (you’ll end up with about ½ Cup). Add the blackberry puree into a small saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until it becomes jam-like and has reduced by half. You’ll end up with about ¼ Cup of reduced puree after this step. Let it cool completely to room temperature before moving on. 
2. With a hand mixer or paddle attachment on your stand mixer, beat the butter on medium-high until it’s creamy, 5 min.  
3. Add the powdered sugar about a cup at a time and mix on low speed, making sure each addition is fully incorporated before adding the next.  
4. Add the (room temperature!) reduced blackberry puree and a pinch of salt. Continue mixing on low speed until fully incorporated and smooth, scraping down the bowl and paddle as needed, 1-2 minutes.
