This Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting is a dreamy blend of creamy cream cheese and butter, with the sweet, fruity flavor of freeze-dried strawberries. It’s the perfect topping for cakes, cupcakes, and cookies, adding both smooth texture and a burst of strawberry flavor to any dessert.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 cups

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup salted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups confectioner’s powdered sugar
  • 2½ cups freeze-dried strawberries, pulverized to a powder

Instructions

  1. Cream the Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
  2. Add Vanilla: Add the vanilla extract and continue beating until well combined, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, a little at a time, and continue beating until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Add the Freeze-Dried Strawberries: Add the pulverized freeze-dried strawberries and beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Chill and Pipe: Chill the frosting in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up before piping onto cakes, cupcakes, or cookies.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, sift the powdered sugar before adding it to the frosting.
  • If you can’t find freeze-dried strawberries, you can use strawberry puree, but the texture may differ slightly.
  • This frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
