Ingredients
To whip up this delightful frosting, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh raspberries, pureed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Now that you have your ingredients ready, follow these simple steps to create your Raspberry Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed to avoid a sugar cloud, until fully incorporated. Then, increase the speed to medium and mix until fluffy.
- Add the raspberry puree, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the color is evenly distributed and your frosting reaches a smooth consistency. If it’s too thick, you can add a teaspoon of milk to adjust the consistency.
- Once your frosting is ready, taste it to see if it needs any adjustments in sweetness or raspberry flavor. You want it to be just right!
- Use immediately to frost your favorite desserts, or store it in the refrigerator for up to one week. Just re-whip before using if it has chilled and thickened.
Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful frosting atop your favorite cake or cupcakes, and watch as it becomes the star of your dessert table!
