You can even use multiple berries for a multi-berry buttercream frosting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swap the extract:\u00a0<\/strong>This blackberry buttercream recipe calls for vanilla extract. If you want to change up the flavor, feel free to use lemon, almond or any other extract you&#8217;re craving to complement the fresh blackberry flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Blackberry Buttercream<\/h2>\n<p>Blackberry frosting should be stored in an airtight container. If you plan on using it within two days, you can keep it on the counter for better spreadability. Otherwise, it should be stored in the fridge or freezer.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does blackberry buttercream last?<\/h3>\n<p>Provided you&#8217;ve stored it properly in an airtight container, this blackberry buttercream frosting recipe will last for up to two days on the counter, up to a week in the fridge and up to three months in the freezer.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze blackberry buttercream?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can freeze blackberry buttercream. To do so, store it in a freezer-safe plastic bag or glass container, or in a piping bag so that you can use it easily upon thawing. The day before you&#8217;re ready to use it, thaw the frozen frosting in the fridge overnight, then bring it to room temperature before re-whipping it and spreading it on your dessert. If you&#8217;re storing it in a piping bag, massage it briefly before using.<\/p>\n<h2>Blackberry Buttercream Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2071808\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blackberry-Buttercream_TOHD24_245322_LeticiaAlmeida_08.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Close up of cupcake frosted with blackberry buttercream.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Leticia Almeida for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I use frozen blackberries?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can use frozen blackberries for this recipe. However, you may need to add additional confectioners&#8217; sugar to get the consistency down. Frozen berries tend to get runny when they thaw, which can in turn add more liquid to the frosting. Extra confectioners&#8217; sugar will solve that issue; just add it slowly so you don&#8217;t add too much.<\/p>\n<h3>How much frosting will this make?<\/h3>\n<p>This recipe will make 5 cups of blackberry buttercream frosting, enough to frost about two dozen cupcakes, a three-layer cake or three dozen cookies.<\/p>\n<h3>What types of dessert should I use this with?<\/h3>\n<p>Blackberry frosting is divine with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/moist-chocolate-cake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/moist-chocolate-cake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">layered chocolate cake<\/a>, on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dishes-beverages\/cupcakes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dishes-beverages\/cupcakes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cupcakes of your choice<\/a>\u00a0or spread on top of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/thick-sugar-cookies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/thick-sugar-cookies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">sugar cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Juicy blackberry buttercream frosting has a stunning color and sophisticated flavor.
