For the most vibrant strawberry flavor and color, use homemade strawberry puree. Simply blend fresh or frozen strawberries in a food processor or blender until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Ensure your cream cheese and butter are properly softened to room temperature before using. This will prevent lumps in your frosting and ensure a smooth, even texture. Sifting the confectioners' sugar is essential for a lump-free frosting. Don't skip this step! This frosting is best used immediately, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Re-whip briefly before using if it has lost some of its volume.

Feb 13, 2025Make sure your cream cheese and butter are properly softened, and don't overmix the frosting after adding the strawberry puree. Overmixing can cause it to become watery.
