• For a firmer texture, let the dipped chocolates set in the fridge.

Storage

FAQs

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of blueberry paste?

Fresh blueberries won’t work well because the paste provides concentrated flavor without added moisture. Using fresh berries may alter the texture of the buttercream.

What kind of chocolate is best for dipping?

High-quality melting chocolate or couverture chocolate works best. It melts smoothly and creates a nice hard shell around the buttercream centers.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

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)

Coating

• Melted chocolate, as needed for dipping

Instructions

1. Prepare the pan: Line an 8 x 6 quarter sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease removal of the buttercream.
2. Cream the butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring a light texture for the buttercream.
3. Add powdered sugar: Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition to achieve a smooth mixture without lumps.
4. Flavor and salt: Stir in the blueberry flavor paste and salt to enhance the buttercream with a balanced sweetness and a hint of blueberry aroma.
5. Add milk and mix: Pour in the whole milk and continue mixing until the buttercream is smooth and spreadable, perfect for setting in the pan.
6. Chill the buttercream: Spread the prepared buttercream evenly into the lined pan and chill for 15 to 20 minutes to firm it up slightly for easier cutting.
7. Cut into squares: After chilling, cut the buttercream into 1 inch by 1 inch squares. Place the squares onto a separate parchment-lined tray and allow them to dry for 12 to 24 hours to develop a firmer outer texture before dipping.
8. Dip in chocolate: Finally, dip each square into melted chocolate, coating evenly to create a delicious outer shell. Allow the chocolate to set before serving or storing.

Notes

• Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier blending with powdered sugar.
• Drying the buttercream squares before dipping helps the chocolate coating adhere better and prevents melting.
• Use high-quality blueberry paste to achieve a vibrant and authentic blueberry flavor.
• Store finished chocolates in a cool, dry place or refrigerate to maintain freshness.
• Experiment with different types of chocolate for coating, such as dark, milk, or white chocolate, to suit your taste.
