Pretty Pink Strawberry Frosting with NO Food Coloring
Ingredients
- 6 cups organic powdered sugar sift if it's clumpy (some organic brands are more clumpy than others, the one I linked to is our favorite)
- 1 cup softened butter pastured butter is best
- 2/3 cup strawberry puree see below
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Strawberry Puree -- this makes a little extra, try it in this dreamy recipe!!!
- 3 cups sliced fresh or frozen organic strawberries
- 1/2 cup organic sugar
- 1/8 cup water
Instructions
- For the puree, combine the strawberries, sugar, and water in a saucepan and bring them to a gentle boil until the berries reduce to about half, it'll take 20-30 minutes or so. Turn off the heat and let cool. Puree with a stick blender or in your food processor or blender until smooth.
- Mix the butter, powdered sugar, and 1/2 cup of the puree until smooth in your mixer (I looooove my Bosch mixer for this and for so many things it's handy for in the kitchen). Add more puree if needed until it's a good consistency. If you add too much, just add a bit more powdered sugar. If it's too dry, add more puree or a little milk or cream until it's just right.
Notes
You can also make a strawberry cake with this puree, just decrease the other liquid called for in the recipe and add 3/4 cup of the puree instead.
