Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
  • 8 ounces cream cheese I like full fat, softened at room temperature
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter ½ stick, softened at room temperature
  • 2-3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar optional
  • sprinkles optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Sprinkles

Method
 

  1. Place the freeze-dried strawberries into a blender or clean spice grinder. Grind into a fine powder.
  2. Add to a medium bowl with the rest of the ingredients.
  3. Blend well using a handheld electric mixer on high speed to make a fluffy frosting.
  4. Transfer to a zip-top quart-size bag. Seal. Cut off one bottom corner and pipe onto cupcakes. You can also just use a spatula to frost onto a cake.

Notes

  • Let the cream cheese and butter soften: They should be at room temperature for a few hours so it’s very soft to the touch. This will help it mix up smoothly.
  • Grind the strawberries: To form a fine powder.
  • Add powdered sugar: To make the frosting sweeter if you’d like. Some people prefer this for a sweeter frosting.
  • Top with sprinkles: If desired.
  • Use freeze-dried blueberries: In place of the strawberries if you’d like a different flavor.
