This was delicious! I used it on a 2 layer 8″ cake. I almost didn’t have enough, and wouldn’t have had enough if I had relied on using it as the filling. Definitely will make again but will double the recipe next time!
I made this recipe exactly as directed and it was absolutely amazing. There was plenty to cover a 9×13 cake. I will definitely be using this recipe again and again!
This was PERFECT. It’s exactly what I needed for my pistachio cupcakes. For the puree, I cooked the frozen strawberries (along with the sugar and lemon juice) and reduced it, then put it in the food processor. Absolutely wonderful.
This frosting was wonderful on my daughter’s strawberry birthday cake. I made it as is but added a little lemon juice to brighten the flavor. My daughter loved it! When folding the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream, do so in thirds so as to not collapse the air in the cream.
Excellent icing.
Amazingly delicious and super simple to make.
I created an account simply to rate this recipe. When I die, I want to be buried in a vat of this frosting. Then I’ll come back to life, eat my way out, and promptly die again from happiness. And morbid obesity. This stuff is so. freaking. good! I used a strawberry purée reduction and it was perfection. I cannot stop eating it! Thank you to the genius behind this recipe. New favorite for sure!
This stuff is amazing! I made it to frost Easter cupcakes but also found it delicious on a dish of strawberries! My children do not like traditional frosting so I’ve been trying to find something they will all eat. This will literally be my go to frosting from now on!
Light, fluffy, not too sweet. Beautiful soft pink color. Everyone raves about it!
I’ve made this numerous times and it has come great everytime. My family loves it! I purée a batch of strawberries and then freeze them in 1/4 cup portions for future cakes. It works out perfectly.
This was easy to make using a stand mixer and a hand mixer, one for the cream and the other for the butter and cream cheese. Omitted the strawberry jam because I baked a blackberry jam cake.
Love having a frosting that doesn’t take like a mouthful of sugar… Making for a second time today!
Deliciously creamy, and the right balance of sweet and strawberry. I made this for a cake that I baked for an office party and it was a hit. 10/10 would recommend.
Very easy and very delicious !!
Very easy, light and delicious, not overly sweet. I was concerned it was too thin but folding in the whipped cream made the consistency perfect. I did add some dry, instant jello to pink it up and boost the strawberry flavor, maybe 1/3 cup. I made a four layer nine inch round cake so I did double the recipe. This will be my go to for strawberry icing.
Just awesome! I paired this with a strawberry cake from scratch. Will absolutely make again.
This worked out PERFECTLY!! Light and refreshing but sweet and tasty, too!!
I was looking for a frosting with less sugar than the usual 3+ cups. This one turned out wonderful. The only modification I made was to put the puree in a small sauce pan and reduce it by half. Then added the full amount, just to give it a little more flavor.
Huge hit! Tastes like strawberry ice cream. Delicious! Frosted a 2 layer cake. Did not change a thing. I will make this agaiin.
I wanted to make an Angel Food cake with whipped cream frosting and put strawberries around it. This recipe turned out delicious. It was perfect for what I wanted. The puree strawberries in the whip cream, and cream cheese is genius!
