This tastes like whipped, melted strawberry ice cream! It's just scrumptious. It's soft enough to dip cupcakes to frost them, but with a little refrigeration it's firm enough to frost with a spatula or to pipe. The food coloring is necessary if you want pink frosting because there is not enough strawberry preserves in this to turn it pink. Speaking of pink, I used Himalayan Pink Salt. Love the stuff! Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
8 ounces cream cheese |
2 tablespoons strawberry preserves |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract |
3 -4 drops red gel food coloring |
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar |
2 tablespoons heavy cream |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese together.
2. Add the strawberry preserves, vanilla, lemon extract, salt and food coloring and beat until incorporated.
3. Add powdered sugar, half a cup at a time, and continue to beat while adding the cream.
4. Once the ingredients are well mixed, turn the mixer to high and beat for 5-7 minutes until fluffy.
