This easy recipe for strawberry buttercream frosting is naturally sweetened with raw honey and makes an excellent strawberry frosting for cupcakes. Using freeze-dried strawberries, this buttercream strawberry frosting is full of delicious strawberry flavor and completely free from processed sugars and dyes.
Mix on medium until all ingredients are creamed together.
Use immediately or store in the fridge for up to one week. To use after being stored in the fridge, let frosting sit at room temperature for a half hour and then cream with an electric mixer again.
Notes
Freeze-dried strawberries can be found at Aldi, Walmart and Amazon.
To crush your freeze-dried strawberries, you can use a chopper or place them in a sealable plastic bag and whack them with a spoon.
Freeze-dried strawberries will begin to soften after about a half hour of opening the package, so make sure to crush them and make your frosting right away once opened. I recommend purchasing individual-sized packages over a large bag for this reason.
