Ingredients

• 1 pkg. (1.2 oz) of freeze-dried strawberries, I get mine from Trader Joes
• 1 C. unsalted butter, softened
• 3 tsp. lemon juice, or milk
• 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 3-4 C. powdered sugar

Directions

• 1. Dump your freeze dried strawberries into a food processor or a Blendtec. Be sure and take out the little white packet inside, this packet keeps out any moisture but you dont want to eat it.
• 2. Finely crush the berries in your food processor or blender.
• 3. Pour into a sifter to remove any larger chunks, discard what doesnt go through the sifter.
• 4. In a stand mixer, beat sifted strawberries and butter until smooth.
• 5. Add lemon juice and vanilla extract and beat again.
• 6. Slowly add in powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency. Cupcakes will beed a stiffer frosting while a cake can be a little more soft. To check, I always pull out my spatula and swipe my finger through the frosting. If the frosting keeps its shape and doesnt sink, youre good to go!
