Blackberry Cream Cheese Frosting With Fresh Blackberries

"This Blackberry Cream Cheese Frosting comes together in 5 minutes and is made with fresh blackberries, butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, orange zest, and vanilla. It’s like a fruitier, zestier twist on classic cream cheese frosting with a bakery-level flavor that’s perfect for topping your favorite cakes and cupcakes. The challenge with adding fruit to a buttercream frosting is that you end up adding a lot more powdered sugar to make up for the extra liquid. Sometimes I just don’t want my frosting that sweet. I’ve found that using cream cheese will solve this problem. It provides stability to offset the juicy berries and a creaminess you can;t get with butter alone. You’ll still add a bit more powdered sugar, but not too much."
