Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting

Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup (half a stick) of butter, softened

Cut and drained strawberries to taste

Powdered sugar to taste and consistency

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparations

-Wash and cut strawberries (I ended up using roughly 7 strawberries). Put the cut strawberries put them in a strainer. You're going to want to push the strawberries with a spoon against the strainer to juice them (if the're too juicy your frosting will be more of a glaze). There should be a puddle of juice at the bottom of the bowl.

-Cream together butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy.

-Gradually add powdered sugar until you get it to a taste and consistency of your preference (I end up using about 2 1/2 cups)

-Add vanilla extract and mix until smooth

-Gradually mix in strawberries, I only add a spoon-full at a time. Your frosting will be extremely runny if you add too many strawberries.

- If the consistency is thin after you add the strawberries- add more powdered sugar.

This frosting is delish and it goes great with vanilla cupcakes (see here).

Happy Baking!
