Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 4.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp Heavy whipping cream (cold)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Place the fresh raspberries in a small bowl and mash them gently with a fork to release their juices. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a second bowl to separate the seeds, keeping only the raspberry puree. Set this aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter-cream cheese mixture, about 1 cup at a time, beating on low speed after each addition to prevent a sugar cloud. Once incorporated, increase the speed to medium-high and continue to beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the raspberry puree (about 2-3 tablespoons), vanilla extract, heavy whipping cream, and a pinch of salt into the frosting. Beat on medium-high speed until everything is fully incorporated. The raspberry puree will tint the frosting a beautiful pink color and add delightful berry flavor.
Check the frosting's consistency. If it’s too thick, add an additional 1-2 teaspoons of whipping cream, beating until the desired fluffy texture is achieved.
Taste the frosting and adjust if needed, adding more raspberry puree for extra flavor or a pinch more salt to balance the sweetness.
Once finished, use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring it back to room temperature and re-whip before using if refrigerated.
