This strawberry frosting has an intense strawberry taste without using extract or gelatin. I wanted real strawberry frosting for my real strawberry cupcakes and could not find an acceptable recipe. I came up with this recipe using a strawberry purée reduction that is truly the strawberry-est. If you love strawberries, you'll love this!

Ingredients

  • strawberries: 1 cup (fresh)
  • butter: 1 cup
  • ½ cups confectioners' sugar, sifted: 3 piece (divided)
  • vanilla extract: 1 tsp
