Fresh Raspberry Buttercream Frosting image

This frosting is sweet and tangy with a strong raspberry flavor. I adapted it from the Making Life Delicious blog. I used it on a chocolate cake for my daughter's 5th birthday. It was soo yummy!

Time 30m

Yield 20-24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces raspberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3 1/2-4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 pinch sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 -2 tablespoon milk (if needed)

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.

This frosting is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still pretty good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my frosting turned out grainy and lumpy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I love how easy this frosting is to make! I was able to whip it up in no time. The texture is smooth and creamy, and the raspberry flavor is just right.

I was a bit skeptical about making this frosting since I'm not a huge fan of raspberries, but I was pleasantly surprised! The frosting is not too sweet, and the raspberry flavor is subtle but noticeable. It was the perfect complement to my chocolate

This buttercream frosting is so light and fluffy, it's like eating a cloud! The raspberry flavor is divine, and it pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the frosting. I'll definitely be making this again and again!
