Real Strawberry Frosting

Servings:

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!
