Perfect Strawberry Buttercream

Ingredients

1 cup cool unsalted butter, cubed

435g powdered sugar

34g freeze-dried strawberries (see note)

2 tbsp milk

1 tsp vanilla

pinch salt

Cream together the cool butter and powdered sugar on low speed until combined and smooth. Once smooth, increase speed to medium or medium high and whip for 5 minutes until creamy and light.

In a food processor, grind the freeze-dried strawberries to a fine powder and mix into the frosting

Add the milk and salt and whip until fully incorporated, smooth and light. This frosting has such a delightfully fruity flavor and is perfect for frosting any cakes where you want clear strawberry flavor 🍓🍓

Note: I always buy freeze-dried strawberries at Trader Joe’s because they have the most cost effective freeze dried fruit I’ve found! One bag from Trader Joe’s is perfect for this batch of frosting.
