A luscious and creamy Blueberry Frosting featuring fresh blueberry compote, mascarpone cheese, and whipped heavy cream, perfect for cakes and cupcakes with a refreshing hint of lemon.

Ingredients

Scale

Blueberry Compote

  • 100 g Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 20 g Sugar
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • Zest of ½ lemon

Frosting

  • 250 g (1 cup) Mascarpone cheese – cold
  • 220 ml (1 cup) Heavy cream – full-fat and cold
  • 65 ml (1/4 cup) Blueberry compote (prepared)
  • 3 tbsp Powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Blueberry Compote: Place the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest into a small saucepan.
  2. Cook Compote: Cook the mixture over low heat for about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring regularly, until it becomes thick and syrupy.
  3. Blend Compote: Use a food processor or hand blender to blend the cooked blueberries until smooth.
  4. Strain Compote: Pass the puree through a fine sieve to remove skins and seeds for a smooth texture.
  5. Cool Compote: Let the strained blueberry puree cool completely in the refrigerator before use.
  6. Make Blueberry Frosting: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cold mascarpone cheese, cold heavy cream, blueberry compote, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
  7. Mix Frosting: Using an electric or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is thick, smooth, and creamy.
  8. Use or Store: Use the frosting immediately to decorate cakes or cupcakes, or cover and refrigerate for later use.

Notes

  • Ensure mascarpone and heavy cream are cold to achieve the best whipped texture.
  • The frosting can be stored in the refrigerator covered for up to 2 days.
  • Use fresh lemon zest for a vibrant lemon flavor in the compote.
  • If you prefer a more intense blueberry flavor, increase the quantity of blueberry compote slightly.
  • Straining the compote is essential to remove seeds and skins, resulting in a smooth frosting.
