Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed and strained
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Directions:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
Add the strawberry puree and vanilla extract, and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
Continue to beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until the frosting is light and fluffy.
If the frosting is too soft, chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before piping.
