Instructions

Beat the softened butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Mix in the strawberry powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
Slowly add the cream or milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency.
Whip the frosting on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes to make it extra light and fluffy.

Notes

Swap freeze-dried strawberries with raspberries or blueberries for a different flavor.

Use plant-based butter and non-dairy milk for a vegan version.

Add natural food coloring for a deeper pink hue.

Mix in a tablespoon of strawberry jam for extra flavor, reducing the cream slightly.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
