Servings 16 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup (22 grams) freeze dried strawberries
- 8 tablespoons (½ cup, 113g) salted butter, softened
- 8 ounces (224g) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2 ½ cup (300 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 to 4 tablespoons milk, to make creamy
Instructions
- In a small high powered blender: add the freeze dried strawberries and process on high for 30 seconds until they resemble a fine powder.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the butter and cream cheese, and beat on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until fluffy and well combined, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Next add the freeze dried strawberry powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla, and beat on low speed to start, then increase to medium-high speed and mix until smooth and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add milk, a tablespoon at a time, to make the frosting a little more creamy. (Alternatively, whisk the frosting by hand.)
Notes
To make dairy-free / vegan: use your favorite vegan and dairy-free butter and cream cheese. I like Miyokos vegan butter and Violife cream cheese! Then be sure to also use dairy-free milk.
