Make this easy, creamy raspberry frosting using just 5 ingredients for a delicious and healthy dessert topping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 oz freeze-dried raspberries
  • 1/2 lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Begin by sifting 2 cups of powdered sugar into a mixing bowl and set it aside. Next, take 1 ounce of freeze-dried raspberries and blend them into a fine crumb.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of room-temperature unsalted butter on high speed for about 2 minutes until it becomes light and creamy.
  3. Now, gently add 8 ounces of room-temperature cream cheese to the creamed butter and mix on high speed for approximately 1 minute.
  4. Gradually incorporate half of the sifted powdered sugar on low speed, then add the remaining powdered sugar in the same way.
  5. Finally, blend in the ground freeze-dried raspberries and the zest of half a lemon on high speed until the frosting is creamy and well mixed.

Notes

  • Using room temperature ingredients helps create a smooth, rich frosting.
  • Be cautious after adding cream cheese; over-mixing can lead to a split frosting.
  • Always sift your powdered sugar before adding it to prevent lumps.
  • Grind freeze-dried raspberries to fully incorporate their flavor.
  • Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three months.
