I didn’t do it here but I KNOW it would be wonderful: add about 4 oz softened cream cheese to the buttercream (and skip the milk). Even with the cream cheese this will be fine to sit overnight at cool room temperature (the amount of sugar in it will keep it from spoiling). Must do the night before: make the buttercream. This buttercream is made with freeze dried blueberries/blueberry powder and it gets more and more potent in flavor overnight. We’re only going to use a bit here, initially it will make the buttercream a light purple and have a hint of blueberry flavor. As it sits overnight, it gets more intense. When you stir it in the morning, you’ll see the color turn even more vibrant. Yes, although you will need to rehydrate them for best results. Berries can be rehydrated by soaking in boiling water for 10 minutes and then draining excess liquid. Beat the softened butter until smooth. Slowly mix in powdered sugar, salt, vanilla and lemon juice until combined.

How To Freeze Dry Blueberries

These muffins also keep well for a few days so they’re great when you have company in town or are going to a brunch and need to bring something along.

Unlike other blueberry breads that usually contain lemon, this one gives your taste buds a different approach by using orange flavors to offset the blueberry. Some (like us) don’t pre-freeze their blueberries before the process, and it’s okay. Maybe you’re in a hurry or need to do something else. Because when you pre-freeze blueberries or any food, you need to keep the freezer closed and undisturbed for at least 24 hours or until the food is frozen. If you have a family with kids, keeping them from opening the freezer door will be a challenge. Using fresh lemon juice to thin out the frosting rather than milk or cream helps accentuate the berry flavor as well. That tart balance with the sugar makes the final product really sing. Tips for making blueberry frosting

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter, sugar, cake flour, baking powder, soda and salt until the mixture is fully combined and sandy. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2 - 3 minutes. Add in egg and vanilla extract and beat on low speed until incorporated. I had been in the mood to make summery lemon whoopie pies and needed the perfect filling. I was tempted to make some strawberry buttercream because strawberry lemonade is one of my favorite summer flavor combinations. Freeze dried blueberries with a their deep plum colour, intense blueberry flavour and great crunchy texture will delight your senses. Our description could never do them justice, they have to be tried to be believed. They are dehydrated not frozen. This means the moisture has been removed to less than 5%, giving our blueberries an amazing flavour and texture. Freeze dried blueberries maintained their nutritional benefits, so they are still super healthy and tasty. Why do you need to keep the freezer door closed? Because opening and closing interrupt the freezing cycle, causing undesirable crystals to form in the food. These crystals interfere with the consistency of the food, especially when you’re freeze-drying ones with high water content.

Technically this recipe contains fresh blueberries but you can easily substitute dried blueberries in their place.

Use rehydrated blueberries to add texture and flavor to your favorite salad and drizzle with a simple lemon juice, olive, and mustard dressing. 3. Blueberry Smoothie It's essential to properly cream your butter and sugar. This process usually takes about 2 - 3 minutes on medium speed and will result in butter that has lightened in color. The sugar should appear to be dissolved in the butter and have a light and fluffy texture. Learn more about the proper techniques for creaming butter. With the mixer on, slowly pour in the blueberry reduction, blueberry powder, lemon juice and kefir. Once the batter is fully mixed, divide it between the two cake pans. Depending on the number of blueberries you’re rehydrating and the strength of your microwave, adjust the microwave time and reduce the power to 50% or less to reduce the risk of overheating. Not only does it sooth my craving for something sweet, I can also enjoy this smoothie guilt-free as it’s full of superfoods. 4. Dried Blueberry Muffins
