Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups freeze dried raspberries, a 1.2 oz bag makes 1 cup pulverized
  • 3 cups confectioners sugar
  • 2 tbsp cream, or milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract, optional
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Pulverize the freeze dried raspberries in a spice grinder or crush them in a zip top bag with a rolling pin. They should be powdery and small.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add softened butter, crushed freeze dried raspberries, and confectioners sugar. Cream on low building up to high when the butter has incorporated most of the sugar so it doesn't spill out of the mixer.

  • Next add in the vanilla and cream or milk and continue to mix for another minute. The buttercream should have stiff peaks.
  • Use immediately or store for later use.

Notes

If you like the frosting thinner, add 1-2 extra tsp of milk at a time. If you want it thicker add 1/4 cup confectioners sugar at a time.
