Tips & Variations

• Use high-quality blueberry flavor paste or fresh blueberry puree for a more natural taste.
• If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a non-dairy spread and use plant-based milk.
• Try different chocolate coatings such as white or dark chocolate to vary the flavor profile.
• For easier dipping, chill the buttercream squares thoroughly before coating in chocolate.

Storage

Store the finished chocolates in an airtight container in a cool place or refrigerator for up to two weeks. If refrigerated, allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or warm environments to prevent melting.

FAQs

Can I use a different fruit flavor instead of blueberry?

Yes, you can substitute the blueberry flavor paste with other fruit flavor pastes such as raspberry, strawberry, or lemon for a different twist.

Do I need special chocolate for dipping?

Using couverture or chocolate specifically designed for coating will give the best shine and snap, but regular melting chocolate or chocolate chips can also work well for dipping at home.

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)

Chocolate Coating

• Dark or milk chocolate, melted (quantity as needed for dipping)

Instructions

1. Prepare Pan: Line an 8 x 6 quarter sheet pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and cleanup.
2. Beat Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter until it becomes smooth and creamy, forming the base of your buttercream.
3. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly after each addition to achieve a consistent texture.
4. Mix Flavor and Salt: Stir in the blueberry flavor paste and salt evenly to distribute the taste and balance the sweetness.
5. Incorporate Milk: Add 3 tablespoons of whole milk and continue beating until the buttercream is smooth, creamy, and spreadable.
6. Chill Buttercream: Spread the prepared buttercream mixture evenly into the lined sheet pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up for easier cutting.
7. Cut Squares: Once chilled, cut the buttercream into 1″ x 1″ squares. Place these on a parchment-lined tray.
8. Dry Buttercream: Allow the cut buttercream squares to dry at room temperature on the tray for 12 to 24 hours, which helps them hold their shape when dipped.
9. Dip in Chocolate: Dip each buttercream square into melted chocolate, fully coating them. Place back on parchment to set until the chocolate is firm.

Notes

• Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for best mixing results.
• Use high-quality blueberry flavor paste to get intense and authentic flavor.
• Drying the buttercream squares before dipping helps prevent melting and ensures a smooth chocolate coating.
• Use tempered chocolate or add a small amount of vegetable oil to melted chocolate for a shiny finish.
• Store finished chocolates in a cool, dry place or refrigerated to maintain quality.
