Ingredients You’ll Need
(Makes ~3 cups frosting)

2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
¼ cup freeze-dried strawberry powder (or ⅓ cup fresh strawberry puree—see note)

Optional: Pinch of salt to balance sweetness
💡 Pro Tips:
Freeze-dried strawberries = intense flavor + no added moisture (best for stable frosting).
Fresh strawberry puree must be reduced to avoid runny frosting (see instructions below).
Use room-temperature butter—cold butter causes lumps.
