Ingredients
Frosting Ingredients
- 1 cup softened cream cheese
- 1/2 cup salted softened butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and salted butter together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add Sugar and Strawberries: Gradually add the powdered sugar into the cream cheese and butter mixture. Then, add the finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Continue mixing on low to medium speed until all ingredients are fully combined and the frosting becomes fluffy and airy.
Notes
- Ensure both cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for the smoothest texture.
- Use freeze-dried strawberries rather than fresh or dried to avoid adding moisture that can thin the frosting.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or cream to loosen it slightly.
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, adjust the amount of freeze-dried strawberry powder as desired.
- Keep the frosting refrigerated if not using immediately; bring to room temperature before spreading to soften.
