Ingredients
  

For the Buttercream
  • 2-3 cups Powdered Sugar Provides essential sweetness and structure for the creamy filling; substitute with coconut sugar for a less sweet option.
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Creates a silky texture; using dairy-free butter makes this treat vegan-friendly.
  • 1 tablespoon Blueberry Flavor Paste Gives an authentic blueberry taste; if unavailable, fresh blueberry puree works well—just adjust sugar accordingly.
  • 1-2 tablespoons Whole Milk Achieves the perfect, smooth consistency; almond milk can be a great non-dairy alternative.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances the overall flavor; feel free to omit for a salt-free version.
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 8 ounces Dark Chocolate Provides a rich and decadent shell; semi-sweet chocolate can also be used for a slightly sweeter taste.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • sharp knife
  • Pizza Cutter
  • Microwave-safe Bowl
  • quarter sheet pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Line an 8 x 6 quarter sheet pan with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat room temperature unsalted butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gradually sift in powdered sugar into the butter, mixing on low speed until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Add blueberry flavor paste and a pinch of salt; mix until fully blended.
  5. Slowly pour in whole milk, mixing until the buttercream reaches a smooth consistency.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Transfer the buttercream to a clean surface dusted with powdered sugar and slice into 1-inch squares.
  8. Let the squares sit at room temperature for 12-24 hours to dry.
  9. Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  10. Dip each buttercream square in melted chocolate, tap off excess, and place on a parchment-lined tray.
  11. Allow to set at room temperature for 30-60 minutes or in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  12. Store the chocolates in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
