Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Blueberry Sauce cooled, prepared
- 1 cup butter softened to room temperature, unsalted
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 vanilla bean or 1–2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- First, make the blueberry sauce and set aside 1/3 cup to cool to room temperature. You can also use leftover blueberry sauce.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and milk on low speed just until incorporated.
- Then, with the mixer on medium-high, beat the mixture for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl a couple of times. The butter should be light and fluffy.
- Add the remaining ingredients and beat on low just until combined.
- Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for later.
- The whipped blueberry butter will firm up in the refrigerator, so remove it from the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes to let it soften to room temperature before serving.

Notes
- Use softened unsalted butter at room temperature for the best creamy and fluffy texture.
- Ensure the blueberry sauce is fully cooled to room temperature before adding to the butter to achieve consistent texture.
- Whole milk is recommended for smooth butter; avoid skim or low-fat varieties.
- Do not use margarine or butter substitutes in this recipe to maintain texture and flavor quality.
- To create a marbled effect, stir the blueberry sauce gently into the whipped butter instead of fully mixing it in.
- Before serving refrigerated blueberry butter, allow it to sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes to soften.
