Ingredients

  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup butter room temp
  • 5 cups powdered sugar
  • teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a food processor or blender, process the raspberries until smooth.
  • With an electric mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add the salt and mix to combine.
  • Turn to low speed and add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, alternating with the processed raspberries, beating until smooth after each addition. Turn to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.

Notes

  • If the raspberries are extra juicy, you may need to add additional powdered sugar.
  • This makes enough frosting to cover a 2 layer cake or 18 cupcakes.
