STRAWBERRY ICING

By heathermcginnis

This recipe came from Key Ingredient... made it on white cupcakes..

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh strawberries
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup icing sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 1/2 cups icing sugar
• 3 tbsp whipping cream

Preparation

Step 1

Puree strawberries till smooth. Transfer to a pan and bring to a boil, stirring often until reduced by at least half (about 10-15 minutes)

Cool

Beat butter in mixer till light and fluffy. Add 1 cup icing sugar just till blended. Add 2 tbsp puree and vanilla till blended. Repeat with 2 tbsp puree and 1 cup sugar till gone.

Add whipping cream at the end and beat till fluffy.

The adding of the puree slowly with the icing sugar is the secret !!
