Ingredients
  

Frosting Base

  • 1-2 tablespoons milk Add for desired consistency.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Ensure your cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for easy mixing.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. If the frosting is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

Notes

Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. Can be made a day in advance. If too runny, chill it; if too thick, add milk gradually.
