Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Using a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Set aside 1/4 cup of the strained puree for the frosting.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter together with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure there are no lumps. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Step 4
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt. Then, slowly incorporate the reserved 1/4 cup of strawberry puree until fully combined.
Step 5
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream on high speed with a whisk attachment until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and the frosting is smooth and airy.
Step 7
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other baked goods. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
