Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups strawberries washed, hulled, and crushed strawberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 12 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a food processor, process the washed, hulled, and crushed strawberries until they become a smooth liquid.
- Strain the strawberry liquid through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any seeds, into a small saucepan.
- Heat the strawberry puree over medium-high heat until it is reduced by half. This should take about 15-20 minutes. You should end up with around 1 cup of strawberry puree when it's done.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let the strawberry puree cool completely.
- In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the cream cheese and unsalted butter until they are smooth and well combined.
- Add the powdered sugar and pinch of salt to the mixing bowl, and continue to mix until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
- Add ¾ to 1 cup of the cooled strawberry puree to the mixing bowl, and continue to mix until the frosting reaches the desired consistency.
- Once the frosting is ready, you can spread it over your cake, cupcakes, or other baked goods and enjoy!
