How to Make Cherry Frosting
- In a large bowl, cream together 3 cups (375g) of powdered sugar and 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy. (Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results).
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, 1/4 cup (60ml) of cherry juice, and 1/2 cup (70g) of chopped maraschino cherries.
- Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until the frosting is smooth and creamy, reaching your desired spreading consistency. Add more powdered sugar for a thicker frosting or more cherry juice for a thinner consistency.
- If using milk instead of cherry juice, start with 1/4 cup (60ml) and add a few drops of red food coloring until you achieve your desired color. Adjust consistency as needed with powdered sugar or milk.
