Ingredients

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1 cup softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup salted softened butter
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp raspberry puree

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and salted butter together using a mixer until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Add Powdered Sugar Gradually: Slowly add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese and butter mixture in batches, beating well after each addition to incorporate fully and avoid a gritty texture.
  3. Incorporate Raspberry Puree: Add the raspberry puree to the mixture and continue to beat until the frosting is light, fluffy, and evenly mixed with a consistent pink hue.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened at room temperature to avoid lumps.
  • For a smoother raspberry puree, strain seeds before adding to frosting.
  • This frosting is best used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Allow refrigerated frosting to come to room temperature and re-whip before using for the best texture.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or cream to loosen it.
