Strawberry Frosting Recipe
Description
The Strawberry Frosting Recipe uses softened butter beaten until light, then combined with pureed fresh or thawed strawberries to add a fresh berry flavor and natural color. Powdered sugar is gradually added, starting with 3 cups, to create a frosting that is fluffy yet firm enough to spread or pipe without being runny.
This frosting has a creamy texture with a mild fruity sweetness that complements vanilla, chocolate, or other cake flavors. The strawberry puree keeps it moist and adds subtle tanginess compared to plain buttercream.
Use this frosting to top cakes, cupcakes, or cookies for a fruity finish. It pairs well with vanilla or chocolate bases and offers a gentle berry flavor that is not overpowering. Adjust powdered sugar to achieve desired consistency.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup strawberries pureed
- 4 1/2 - 5 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the strawberry puree and mix to combine.
- Add 3 cups of powdered sugar, and mix until combined. Add additional powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, to make a frosting that is spreadable and fluffy, but not runny.
