Ingredients
Raspberry Purée
- 300 g raspberries
- 40 g castor sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Raspberry Cream Cheese Frosting
- 600 g powdered sugar
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 250 g cream cheese
- ¼ cup raspberry purée
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Raspberry Purée
- In a small saucepan set over medium heat add the fresh raspberries, castor sugar, and lemon juice. Allow the fruit to soften and the sugar to melt. Stir occasionally with a spatula and press the fruit against the sides of the saucepan to help them break down if needed.
- Once the sugar is melted and the purée has thickened, allow the mashed raspberry purée to cool to room temperature.
Raspberry Cream Cheese Frosting
- Add the icing sugar and butter to a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat at medium speed until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Add the cubed softened cream cheese and beat at medium-high speed until the frosting is smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again for about 2 minutes.
- Add ¼ cup of the cooled raspberry puree and the vanilla extract and then beat again.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and beat at medium-high speed for a further 3 minutes or until the frosting is light and fluffy. The frosting is now ready to use on cakes and cupcakes.
- Add the frosting to a piping bag fitted with your favorite nozzle, or use an offset spatula to spread this frosting over cakes.
