Fresh Strawberry Frosting Recipe

5 / 5 (1 reviews)

This pretty-in-pink Fresh Strawberry Frosting is the best because it is made with real strawberries that are pureed and reduced to concentrate their bright, sweet flavor. It pipes well on cakes and cupcakes, but can also be used on brownies, macarons, and other desserts!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Start by processing the strawberries in a food processor until pureed. Transfer to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, cooking and stirring frequently until reduced by at least half to between 1/4 and 1/2 cup. This usually takes around 10-15 minutes (a little on the longer side if using frozen strawberries). Cool completely before moving on. This step can even be done a day or two in advance.

Chef's Notes


I find that I never need to add any heavy cream or milk to this frosting recipe to make it spreadable or pipeable. But if you feel like it is still too thick, you can always add a couple teaspoons at a time.
This frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Just thaw completely overnight in the fridge, then let it sit at room temperature for at least 1-2 hours before beating again to make it fluffy and spreadable, then using in whatever way you like.
