Description

This Rosy Whip with Freeze-Dried Dust is a vibrant, creamy strawberry frosting perfect for elevating everyday treats like cupcakes and cakes. It’s a quick and foolproof recipe that delivers intense natural strawberry flavor and a beautiful pink color, ideal for busy home cooks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups (450g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 2–4 tablespoons (30-60ml) heavy cream or milk
  • 0.5 cup (15g) freeze-dried strawberries, whole or 0.25 cup (12g) dust
  • 0.25 teaspoon (1.25g) pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Freeze-Dried Dust: Pulse 0.5 cup of freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor or blender until a fine, rosy powder forms. Set aside.
  2. Cream the Butter: In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat 1 cup of softened unsalted butter on medium-high speed until lighter in color and fluffy.
  3. Add Sugar Gradually: Gradually add 2 cups of the sifted powdered sugar to the creamed butter on low speed, mixing until just combined and no dry streaks remain. Scrape down the bowl.
  4. Incorporate Flavor: Add the strawberry dust and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until fully incorporated, turning the mixture pale pink.
  5. Adjust Consistency: With the mixer on low, slowly add the remaining 2 cups of powdered sugar alternately with 2-4 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk until smooth and desired spreadable consistency is reached. (If too thin, beat in 1-2 more tablespoons of sifted powdered sugar.)
  6. Whip to Perfection: Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat the frosting for another 2-3 minutes until exceptionally light, airy, and fluffy.

Notes

Sifting powdered sugar is crucial for a smooth, lump-free frosting. For dairy-free options, use plant-based butter or shortening and almond or oat milk. Reduce powdered sugar by up to 0.5 cup for a less sweet frosting.
