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
- Mix Cream Cheese and Butter: Beat 1 cup of softened cream cheese together with 1/2 cup of salted softened butter using an electric mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Powdered Sugar and Strawberry Powder: Gradually add 4 cups of powdered sugar along with 1/4 cup of finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries to the cream cheese and butter mixture. Continue to beat at a medium speed until the frosting becomes fluffy and evenly colored.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature to avoid lumps in the frosting.
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, you can increase the amount of freeze-dried strawberries slightly.
- If the frosting is too thick, you can add a teaspoon of milk or cream to reach desired consistency.
- Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
