Easy Raspberry Frosting Recipes

RASPBERRY FROSTING

Steps:

• Beat 2 cups of unsalted butter on a medium speed for 30 seconds until smooth with a paddle attachment / stand mixer or a hand mixer.
• Mix in 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste and 1/2 tsp salt on a low speed.
• Slowly add in 7 cups of powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Alternate with 2/3 cup of heavy cream or milk, and mix on a low speed. I like to place a kitchen towel over my mixer to contain any powdered sugar clouds.
• Mix in 1/2 cup freeze dried raspberry powder and 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice on a low speed.
• Mix on low until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the desired consistency is reached.
• If the frosting is too thick, add in additional cream (1 Tbsp at a time). If the frosting is too thin, add in more powdered sugar (quarter of a cup at a time).

THE BEST RASPBERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Puree the raspberries and then run the pureed raspberries through a sieve. (You should have 1/2 cup of Raspberry puree.)
• Add the softened butter and the raspberry puree and mix until they are completely combined.
• Add half of the powdered sugar.
• Continue to beat on medium speed until the frosting is creamy.
• If the frosting is too thin, add 1/2 cup additional powdered sugar. Keep adding powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until you have the frosting at the desired consistency.
• If the frosting is too thick/dry, put a little bit of water in the raspberry puree container that you used and then add this liquid to the frosting 1 tsp. at a time until you get the desired consistency.

RASPBERRY FROSTING

Steps:

• Puree berries with granulated sugar in a food processor until smooth. Pass mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
• In another bowl, beat butter on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and add confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in berry puree. Frosting can be stored in refrigerator up to 2 days; bring to room temperature and beat on low speed until smooth again before using.

RASPBERRY JAM BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Cream butter and jam until well incorporated, about 2 minutes.
• Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time until you reach desired consistency.
• If frosting gets too thick you can add a little milk to thin it out.
• If you are not satisfied with the pink colour from the jam/preserves alone add in a drop or two of red food colour to intensify it.

RASPBERRY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

FRESH RASPBERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Put the raspberries in a small sauce pan and cook over medium heat stirring with a spoon until they break down into a sauce. Pour the sauce through a fine mesh strainer to take out the seeds and then put the seedless sauce back in the pot and simmer until it reduces to a 1/4 cup of very concentrated raspberry sauce. Set aside to cool.
• When the raspberry flavoring is room temperature, cream the butter in the bowl of a standing mixer using a paddle attachment. Then add about 2 cups of powdered sugar, the raspberry sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt. Process until smooth. Add another 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar and continue to mix until it is spreading consistency adding milk if needed to make it less stiff.
• I adapted my frosting to make it vegan because my daughter is allergic to dairy. So I used expeller pressed coconut oil in place of the butter. I had to melt it slightly to remove the lumps as they wouldn't creamt together. It still came together very well. If the temperature was above 75 or so, the frosting might melt if using coconut oil. I also used coconut milk to thin in and it left tiny white lumps due to the acidity of the lemon juice. It would have worked better to use rice milk or even just water, probably.

CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY FROSTING

Add sour cream, jam, corn syrup, framboise and vanilla to chocolate. Using electric mixer, beat until mixture is fluffy, smooth and light in color, about 3 minutes. Beat in butter. (Frosting can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Whisk frosting before using.)
