Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen (150g))
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar (sifted (180g))
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract (optional)
  • 14 tablespoons water, cream, milk, or citrus juice

Instructions

  1. Add Blueberries: Add the blueberries to a small saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the juices begin to release.
  2. Push Blueberries: Use a rubber spatula to begin pushing on the blueberries to help them along.
  3. Strain Puree: Set a fine mesh sieve on top of a bowl then pass the blueberries through the sieve to separate the puree from the skins.
  4. Cool Puree: Allow the blueberry puree to cool completely (place it in the fridge to help this process along).
  5. Sift Sugar: Measure one cup of powdered sugar, then sift it into a bowl.
  6. Mix Puree and Sugar: Add 1-2 tablespoons of blueberry puree and whisk it together to form a thick paste.
  7. Adjust Consistency: From here, add one tablespoon at a time of water, heavy cream, or milk, whisking in between each addition, until a pourable consistency forms.

Notes

  • Place puree in the fridge to cool completely for best results.
  • Adjust the liquid quantity to achieve desired glaze consistency.
