1 Electric Hand Mixer

Ingredients

226 g cream cheese at room temp
113 g butter softened
100 g honey raw
25 g heavy whipping cream
30 g dragon fruit powder or preferred amount

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a medium-size bowl and mix with an electric mixer until fully combined and smooth. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom as necessary.
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Works great for piping onto mini dye-free pink cupcakes or icing naturally sweetened cut out cookies.

Notes

Make sure to soften your butter by leaving it on the counter for at least an hour or by heating it in small increments in a bowl in the microwave.
Also make sure your cream cheese is at room temp to avoid clumps in your frosting.
The amount of dragon fruit powder is customizable depending on how bright or light you want your pink hue to be. You can start with less than the recommended amount and gradually increase until you reach your preferred color.
Note that this frosting will firm up a bit in the fridge but it will not solidify. If you are storing it to use later, pull it out of the fridge about 20-30 minutes before you want to use it so it can soften up enough to spread or pipe easily.
Also keep in mind that because the frosting does not fully solidify, frosted baked goods should be stored in a way that the tops will not get smashed in the fridge.
