Ingredients – 1-½ cups powdered sugar – ½ cup butter, softened – ¼ cup strawberry jam – 3 tablespoons powdered freeze dried strawberries* – ½ teaspoon vanilla extract – pinch of salt – 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
In a large mixing bowl, add the powdered sugar, powdered strawberries, and butter. Beat with the paddle attachment of an electric mixer (or use a hand mixer) for several minutes.
1. In a separate bowl, combine the egg, mayonnaise, Dijon, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Add the softened cream cheese to the large bowl.
Beat the frosting for another 1-2 minutes until it is smooth and creamy. It’s now ready to use!
– Add the cream cheese last. Creaming the butter and sugar first will allow the sugar to get completely coated in butter fat. This prevents the sugar from drawing the water out of the cream cheese and making a loose, runny frosting. – Use full-fat, block-style cream cheese. We don’t recommend low-fat cream cheese or the kind that comes in a tub. It will give you a thin and runny frosting.
Our strawberry cream cheese frosting is: – easy to make – sweet and tangy – rich, fluffy and creamy!
