Instructions

Add your freeze dried strawberries to a high powered blender (or a food processor) and blend until they become a fine powder.

Next, in the bowl of an electric mixer, add the softened butter (or vegan butter) and whip on high until light and fluffy.

Next, add the freeze-dried strawberry powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and beat for 2-3 minutes more, starting on low speed and slowly increasing to high.

Add in a few tablespoons of milk to thin the frosting out, beat again until smooth. Spread on your favorite cake, cookies or whatever your heart desires!
