10 Minute Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting
This delicious Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting is made with freeze-dried strawberries and has a deliciously tangy and sweet flavor with a rich and creamy texture.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, block at room temperature (227g)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature (113g)
- 1.2 oz freeze dried strawberries
- 4 cups confectioners sugar, (454g)
- 1 tbsp milk
Instructions
- In the bowl of a hand or stand mixer, add the 1 block cream cheese and the 1/2 cup unsalted butter and mix on low- medium speed for 2-3 minutes until fully creamed.
- In a small blender or food processor pulse the 1.2 oz of freeze dried strawberries until they are pulverized. If you want to pipe this frosting, make sure to completely powder them otherwise it will block the tip.
- Stop and scrape down the mixer. Add in the 4 cups of confectioners sugar and freeze dried strawberry powder. Mix on low speed working your way up to medium speed as the sugar mixes in. Mix for 2-3 mins more until fully mixed.
- Turn the mixer to low and add in the 1 tbsp milk. Mix again on medium speed for 2-3 more minutes until fluffy. Add in another teaspoon of milk if you want it lighter.
Notes
This recipe will frost 12 cupcakes or fill and frost a 2 layer 9" cake.
If you dont have freeze dried strawberries you can use 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup strawberry jam instead but the flavor and color wont be as intense.
