I am so in love with this frosting. I know I am generally opposed to fruit in desserts, but fruit in frosting, yeah…there’s a definite exception to the rule. Roasting strawberries just intensifies their flavor and then mixing those into a creamy buttercream frosting? Umm yes to the yessity yes. AND for whatever reason saying this frosting is ROASTED Strawberry Frosting automatically makes it fancy. No one gets excited about Strawberry frosting, but ROASTED? Yes. Excitement for days. You feel it right? This buttercream is so super simple…and roasting strawberries is basically the easiest thing ever. Just slice them, sprinkle them with a little sugar and spread them on a baking sheet… Bake them for a few minutes until they are soft, but not completely mush… Let them cool and then pulse them a few times in the blender or food processor. You want the puree to be chunky-ish. Then mix that into a creamy buttercream until it’s pure pink dreaminess. Also, the problem that I generally have with fruit frosting is that is can appear curdled. Just add a bit more powdered sugar to smooth it out and firm it up, it’s an easy fix. I topped my Favorite Vanilla Cupcakes with this Roasted Strawberry Buttercream and it was AMAZING!!!
