This is the Strawberry Buttercream<\/strong> you have always wanted and searched for. Fresh strawberries or strawberry jams are no comparison to this intensely flavored buttercream. This truly is a party in your mouth.\u00a0 A full pound of strawberries are added to a simple buttercream and the result is just short of amazing for a recipe that takes only 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The recipe calls for freeze dried strawberries – the kind the astronauts took with them. A 1.2 ounce package equals a full pound of strawberries without the juice making them ideal to introduce into a frosting.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n A couple of other recipes using this frosting include my Strawberry Cake – A Little Slice of Heaven<\/a> of Heaven, Banana Split Cupcakes<\/a> and the elegant Chocolate Strawberry Ruffle Cake<\/a>.

All of the moisture has been taken out of them leaving only the shape, color and pure strawberry taste. Originally developed for astronauts all manner of food was freeze dried. One of my favorites was the ice cream. Today there are all kinds of freeze dried fruits. Trader Joe’s has the best price I can find a large variety of flavors. The only one I don’t like is the red raspberry. When those are ground, the seeds seem to stay very noticeable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A single 1.2 ounce package makes about \u00bd cup when processed to strawberry dust in the processor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Any flavor of freeze dried fruit can be substituted…..blueberry, raspberry, mango – you get the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Because they introduce the most strawberry flavor to the buttercream. Because they have no juice, just pure flavor, the flavor of the buttercream is more intense.<\/p> <\/div> This is an American buttercream which means it is based on powdered sugar and butter as its main ingredients. American buttercream is especially good if the cupcake or cake has to hold up in a warm environment. <\/p> <\/div> No. The final product will be grainy. Powdered sugar is just that, powdered. It is made to dissolve completely with no trace of graininess.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n If you tried this\u00a0Strawberry Buttercream recipe<\/strong>\u00a0or any other recipe on my website, please leave a\u00a0\ud83c\udf1f\u00a0star rating in the recipe card<\/strong>\u00a0and let me know how it goes in the\u00a0\ud83d\udcdd\u00a0comments<\/strong>\u00a0below.
