Notes
- The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of approximately 2-3 tablespoons of frosting. Actual calories will vary.
- This recipe makes enough frosting to lightly frost 18-20 cupcakes, a 9x13-inch cake, or the tops of 2 (8-inch) cakes. If you prefer more frosting on your desserts, consider making a double batch or adding a ½ cup of butter, an extra 1-2 cups of powdered sugar, and additional strawberry puree.
- You may not need all of the strawberry puree. Start with a little and slowly add more as needed. The puree acts as the liquid in the frosting, so it will thin it out as it’s added.
