Please Read Our Disclosure Policy.This strawberry cream cheese frosting is perfectly creamy and fluffy and loaded with strawberry flavor! I’ll show you the trick to how to achieve the perfect consistency for this frosting recipe. This homemade strawberry cream cheese frosting recipe takes only a few minutes to mix up and just a few simple ingredients!I’ve been wanting to make a strawberry cream cheese frosting recipe on the blog for awhile now. So when I set out to create this strawberry cake recipe, I knew this frosting had to be a part of it.To create this frosting I used my cream cheese frosting recipe as the base because frankly I think it’s downright perfect. But to get maximum strawberry flavor, I used my secret ingredient from my Strawberry Buttercream Frosting – freeze-dried strawberries.The key to making a strawberry buttercream with true strawberry flavor is freeze dried strawberries. I’ve tried different variations with jam (too sweet!) or a puree (too liquid-y and way too time consuming!). So enter the freeze dried strawberries. By using freeze-dried strawberries you get maximum strawberry flavor but without adding an extra liquid to it.I find the freeze-dried strawberries usually in the health food aisle of my grocery store. I simply pop them into my food processor and pulse them into a fine powder and stir them into my frosting. Maximum strawberry goodness in every bite.So simple, you ready? Ok here is a step by step photo tutorial of how to make this strawberry cream cheese buttercream.In a your stand mixer with paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer, beat together the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy.You want to cream together the butter and cream cheese first before adding any powdered sugar. You can make this in your stand mixer, or use a hand mixer as shown below. It’ll just take a bit more elbow grease on your part!&nbsp;Use softened butter and cream cheese. This is important. If either one is too cold they won’t incorporate and turn into a smooth frosting. You will end up with a lumpy cream cheese frosting. And if you need to soften your butter quickly I have 3 easy ways to do that for you. But basically you can leave them out on the counter for an hour or so until softened.Do this 1/2 cup at a time to avoid a blizzard all over your kitchen. Then mix until incorporated. And be sure to start your mixer on low. I also like to wrap a kitchen towel around the mixer to catch any sugar that is determined to fly out of the bowl.I usually don’t have a problem with powdered sugar lumps. But if you want to be on the safe side, especially if you are going to use a piping bag with this frosting, you can sift your powdered sugar first. This will ensure no lumps get stuck in your piping bag. If you’re not a fan of sifting (and neither am I!) you can also just whisk your powdered sugar in a bowl before adding it to the frosting.Because this is a no bake recipe essentially using a good quality vanilla is essential since you will taste it. I love using either Nielsen-Massey or Heilala vanilla.I simply grind the freeze-dried strawberries up in my food processor until they are broken down into a fine powder.You want to do this for about 5-7 minutes. It’s a long time, but trust me it’s worth it 🙂And if you need help frosting, then check out this post on&nbsp;how to frost the perfect cupcake (+ video!).&nbsp;You can also learn how to master all 6 buttercreams in my&nbsp;Buttercream Basics Guide!How should I store this strawberry cream cheese frosting? This frosting needs to be stored in the fridge, up to 5 days. You may need to let it soften again before trying to frost with it. I also like to throw it back in my mixer and re-whip it again before using. Can I freeze this frosting? Yes place in an airtight container and pop into your freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw it overnight in the fridge, then re-whip until it’s light and fluffy again! You can read a full tutorial on how to store your buttercream here.&nbsp; How many cupcakes or size cake will this cover? For Cupcakes&nbsp;– This recipe will generously frost 12 cupcakes. I like to pipe a pretty tall amount of frosting on each cupcake.&nbsp; So if you don’t use as much as I do as in the photos, then you might get more frosted (around 24 cupcakes). For help on decorating cupcakes, be sure to check out my&nbsp;The Ultimate Guide To Baking Cupcakes At Home&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Ultimate Guide To Making The Best Buttercream Icing.For Cake&nbsp;– This frosting will cover a 9 x 13 sheet cake or a 2 layer 8-inch. For a larger cake like a 9-inch cake I’d make a double batch.You can add this to any thing you might want a big old layer of frosting on top!
