Ingredients
Fruit Puree
- ½ cup raspberries (3 ounces)
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
Frosting
- ½ cup salted butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Make Raspberry Puree: Put the raspberries and granulated sugar into a high-power blender container and blend until smooth. Use a smaller container for best results. This yields about ¼ cup of raspberry puree.
- Cream Butter: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld mixer, beat the softened butter until creamy and smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the raspberry puree, vanilla extract, fine sea salt, and 1 cup of powdered sugar to the creamed butter. Beat the mixture until fully smooth and integrated.
- Adjust Consistency: Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar, about 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition until you achieve your desired frosting consistency.
- Use Frosting: Spread or pipe the frosting on your favorite cakes, cupcakes, or cookies immediately or store it properly until ready to use.
Notes
- Use fully softened butter at room temperature for the best creamy texture.
- Adjust sugar quantity to taste if you prefer a sweeter or tangier frosting.
- If frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or cream to thin it slightly.
- Keep frosting refrigerated if not using immediately; bring to room temperature and re-whip before applying.
- This frosting is best used within 2-3 days for freshness.
