How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. In a mixing bowl, cream together 4 ounces (113g) of softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup (57g) of softened unsalted butter using an electric mixer on low speed until smooth and combined. This should take about 30 seconds.
  2. Gradually add 3 cups (360g) of powdered sugar, while mixing on low speed. Stir in 1/2 cup (75g) of mashed strawberries (made from approximately 3/4 cup hulled strawberries).
  3. Continue blending on low speed for 1 minute, until the sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for 30-45 seconds, or until the frosting is light and fluffy. Add up to 1/2 cup (60g) more powdered sugar, if needed, to achieve your desired consistency for spreading.
  5. Frost your favorite treats and enjoy! This frosting is best used immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
