Notes

Recipe Copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.

Freeze Dried Raspberries: Fresh or frozen raspberries will not work for this recipe. You must find freeze-dried raspberries for the best flavor and texture
Cream Cheese: Be sure and use full-fat cream cheese that comes in a block. It should also be softened to room temperature
Butter: I prefer to use unsalted butter. Make sure it is softened to room temperature, approximately 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit.
Powdered Sugar: Sift the powdered sugar to ward off any lumps. You can add more or less powdered sugar depending on how thick you like your frosting.
Vanilla: Vanilla extract helps balance out all the flavors.
Make sure your butter and cream cheese come to room temperature. This is a must for any frosting recipe! It helps ensure your cream cheese and butter blend consistently and there are no lumps in the final product.
To thicken this frosting up for piping allow it to chill for a half hour in the refrigerator before using.
