Homemade Strawberry Frosting – made with real strawberries, super yummy, creamy, sweet, and just downright delicious!
I’ve been playing around with different frostings and I ad some leftover strawberries in the fridge from making our Strawberry Syrup and thought why not?
And since it’s made with real strawberries, you can say it’s healthy (wink wink).
The ingredients you’ll need are two sticks of softened butter, five cups of powdered sugar, two cups of strawberries, one tsp vanilla extract, my secret ingredient, one tsp of vanilla syrup, and maybe a tbsp or two of heavy cream.
To begin, you’ll want to reduce your strawberries by half. To do this, puree the strawberries in a blender or food processor and pour them into a small saucepan. Turn the stove onto medium heat and let simmer, make sure it doesn’t reach a boil.
Stir constantly for about 10-15 minutes, it should be a nice thick and dark consistency.
Let the reduced strawberries cool to at least room temperature before using them for this recipe.
Next, you’ll want to cream the butter using a stand mixer or handheld mixer for about 2 minutes, the butter should be light and fluffy. Slowly add in about half of the powdered sugar. Once that’s combined, add in the reduced strawberries, the vanilla extract, and the vanilla syrup.
Slowly add in the rest of the powdered sugar until it’s completely combined. If needed, add 1-2 tbsps of heavy cream to reach the desired consistency.
This Homemade Strawberry Frosting is great on cookies, cupcakes, cake, or to dip in extra or leftover fruit for a snack (that’s what I did with my leftover strawberries and it was so good). My boyfriend Kal couldn’t get enough when he tried it with strawberries!
Stay tuned for another recipe using my Homemade Strawberry Frosting on something delicious!
- The frosting will become a ticker consistency when kept in the fridge. Let warm to room temperature before using if you want a thinning and more spreadable frosting.Homemade Strawberry Frosting
