Ingredients
Scale
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
- Prepare the pan: Line an 8 x 6 quarter sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease removal of the buttercream.
- 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.
- Add powdered sugar: Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition to achieve a smooth mixture without lumps.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
