Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (optional, for consistency)
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the fresh raspberries in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and release their juices.
Step 2
Pass the cooked raspberries through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing with a spoon to extract the puree while removing the seeds. Allow the raspberry puree to cool completely.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter using a hand or stand mixer until it is light and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed to incorporate before increasing to medium speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 5
Mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Add the raspberry puree, one tablespoon at a time, beating until fully incorporated. If the frosting is too thick, add heavy cream one teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
Step 7
Continue beating the frosting for an additional 2-3 minutes, until it is light, fluffy, and smooth.
Step 8
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other baked goods. The frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days; let it come to room temperature and re-whip before using.
