Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries, thawed and pureed

Instructions
 

  • Thaw and puree the strawberries:
    Take 1 cup of frozen strawberries and thaw them at room temperature or in the microwave until they are soft.
    Puree the thawed strawberries using a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
  • Prepare the cream cheese mixture:
    In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the powdered sugar:
    Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture, beating well after each addition until the icing is smooth and fluffy.
  • Incorporate the strawberry puree:
    Add the pureed strawberries and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture.
    Beat until the strawberries are fully incorporated into the icing, giving it a pink color and a fruity flavor.
  • Adjust consistency (optional):
    If the icing is too thick, you can add a little milk or cream, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, you can add more powdered sugar.
  • Chill (optional):
    If the icing is too soft, you can chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up before using.
  • Use the icing:
    Spread the strawberry cream cheese icing onto cooled cakes, cupcakes, or other baked goods.
    You can also use a piping bag to pipe the icing onto desserts for decorative purposes.
