Fresh Cherry Frosting Recipes

CHERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in confectioners' sugar gradually until light and fluffy. Beat in cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting reaches spreading/piping consistency. Beat in cherry preserves and vanilla extract.

HOW TO MAKE THE EASIEST FRESH CHERRY BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Step 1
• Place the butter in a large bowl. Using a stand mixer or a handheld mixer on low, cream tit until it is fluffy and lighter in color. This will take around 2 to 3 minutes.
• Step 2
• Add in the powdered sugar. Be careful, only add it ½ cup at a time, unless you want powdered sugar all over you and your kitchen. Continue mixing until everything is combined.
• Step 3
• Incorporate the salt as well. Turn up the speed to medium-high and continue beating until you get a light and fluffy mix. This will take around 2 more minutes.
• Step 4
• Add in the cherries and their juices. Turn the power back to low and continue mixing until they are combined.
• Step 5
• Now, on medium to high speed, beat it for another 3 minutes until the frosting looks smooth and creamy.

CHERRY PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Place cherries into a saucepan over medium heat, and cover the pan; heat cherries until they release their juice and come to a simmer, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir often.
• In a bowl, whisk the sugar with cornstarch until smooth; pour the mixture into the hot cherries and juice, and thoroughly combine. Return to low heat, bring to a simmer, and cook until the filling has thickened, about 2 minutes; remove from heat, let cool, and use as pie filling.
