Best Raspberry Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe
Light and smooth cream cheese frosting bursting with raspberry flavor.
Equipment
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 fine mesh strainer
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter (room temperature)
- 1 8 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 tsp raspberry jello powder
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy. About 3 minutes.
- Add the powdered sugar in small batches. Mix to combine. Scrap down the sides of the bowl and repeat until all remaining powdered sugar is added.
- In a separate bowl, mash the raspberries into a puree (or put into a food processor). Run the raspberries through a small mesh strainer, removing all the seeds so you're just left with the juice.
- Add the raspberry juice, one tablespoon at a time to the frosting, mixing until combined. Repeat until all the juice is used.
- Add 1 tsp raspberry jello powder. Mix until combined and serve!
Notes
Be sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start! To quickly bring them to room temperature, microwave a glass bowl for 1 minute and place it on top of the butter and cream cheese, encasing them. Wait 2-3 minutes and they should be good to use.
