Description
A velvety, tangy cream cheese frosting infused with a concentrated blueberry reduction for natural color and flavor.

8 oz full-fat block cream cheese, cold
1/2 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Simmer blueberries and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened and reduced by half.
Step 2: Strain the blueberries through a sieve and let the resulting liquid cool completely.
Step 3: Beat cold cream cheese and softened butter until smooth and creamy.
