THE BEST RASPBERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Puree the raspberries and then run the pureed raspberries through a sieve. (You should have 1/2 cup of Raspberry puree.)
• Add the softened butter and the raspberry puree and mix until they are completely combined.
• Add half of the powdered sugar.
• Continue to beat on medium speed until the frosting is creamy.
• If the frosting is too thin, add 1/2 cup additional powdered sugar. Keep adding powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until you have the frosting at the desired consistency.
• If the frosting is too thick/dry, put a little bit of water in the raspberry puree container that you used and then add this liquid to the frosting 1 tsp. at a time until you get the desired consistency.

RASPBERRY FROSTING

Steps:

• Beat 2 cups of unsalted butter on a medium speed for 30 seconds until smooth with a paddle attachment / stand mixer or a hand mixer.
• Mix in 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste and 1/2 tsp salt on a low speed.
• Slowly add in 7 cups of powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Alternate with 2/3 cup of heavy cream or milk, and mix on a low speed. I like to place a kitchen towel over my mixer to contain any powdered sugar clouds.
• Mix in 1/2 cup freeze dried raspberry powder and 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice on a low speed.
• Mix on low until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the desired consistency is reached.
• If the frosting is too thick, add in additional cream (1 Tbsp at a time). If the frosting is too thin, add in more powdered sugar (quarter of a cup at a time).

RASPBERRY FROSTING

Steps:

• Puree berries with granulated sugar in a food processor until smooth. Pass mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
• In another bowl, beat butter on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and add confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in berry puree. Frosting can be stored in refrigerator up to 2 days; bring to room temperature and beat on low speed until smooth again before using.

FRESH RASPBERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Put the raspberries in a small sauce pan and cook over medium heat stirring with a spoon until they break down into a sauce. Pour the sauce through a fine mesh strainer to take out the seeds and then put the seedless sauce back in the pot and simmer until it reduces to a 1/4 cup of very concentrated raspberry sauce. Set aside to cool.
• When the raspberry flavoring is room temperature, cream the butter in the bowl of a standing mixer using a paddle attachment. Then add about 2 cups of powdered sugar, the raspberry sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt. Process until smooth. Add another 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar and continue to mix until it is spreading consistency adding milk if needed to make it less stiff.
• I adapted my frosting to make it vegan because my daughter is allergic to dairy. So I used expeller pressed coconut oil in place of the butter. I had to melt it slightly to remove the lumps as they wouldn't creamt together. It still came together very well. If the temperature was above 75 or so, the frosting might melt if using coconut oil. I also used coconut milk to thin in and it left tiny white lumps due to the acidity of the lemon juice. It would have worked better to use rice milk or even just water, probably.

FROSTED RASPBERRY BARS

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
• Whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla together in a small bowl.
• Beat butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with egg mixture, beating dough briefly after each addition. Divide dough in half and wrap in plastic wrap; chill for 2 hours or until firm.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 15x10-inch baking pan.
• Roll out 1 portion of dough into a 15x10-inch rectangle; carefully transfer to the prepared pan. Spread with raspberry pie filling.
• Roll out remaining dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 1/2-inch wide strips and weave into a lattice pattern over filling.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
• When bars are almost cool, prepare frosting. Beat cream cheese, marshmallow creme, butter, and shortening together in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar and milk, beating until smooth. Drizzle over bars. Chill until set. Cut into bars.

RASPBERRY CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese and butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and raspberry extract; beat until smooth. Fold in raspberry jam.

SOFT SUGAR COOKIES WITH RASPBERRY FROSTING

Steps:

• Make the cookies: In a large bowl, using a spoon, cream the butter, cream cheese, sugar and salt until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk to incorporate some air and to dissolve the sugar crystals, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour and baking powder until just incorporated.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees and line two rimmed sheet pans with parchment paper. Using two spoons or a cookie scooper, plop out 2-tablespoon/50-gram rounds spaced a couple of inches apart. (You should get about 7 to 8 cookies per sheet pan.) Place the sheet pans in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes until the dough is no longer sticky and easier to handle.
• While the dough chills, make the frosting: In a fine-mesh sieve set over a medium bowl, sift the ground raspberries, using a spoon to help pass them through, until most of the ruby-red powder is in the bowl and most of the seeds are left behind in the sieve. (Discard the seeds.)
• To the bowl, add the 1 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt and, with an electric hand mixer, mix on low speed until the butter absorbs the sugar. Then, turn the speed up to high and beat until the frosting doubles in size, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to ensure all the ingredients are incorporated. Transfer the frosting to a small container, cover tightly, and set aside. (You should have about 2 cups of frosting.)
• Remove the sheet pans from the freezer. Roll the chilled dough into even balls and flatten them slightly with your fingers so they're about 2 inches wide and 1 inch high. Bake the cookies for 13 to 15 minutes, rotating the pans and switching racks halfway through, or until they no longer look wet on top, are still light in color and spring back to the touch. They will puff up and crack slightly. Let cool completely on the sheet pan. (They will continue to cook as they sit.)
• Using a butter knife or offset spatula, frost each cooled cookie with the raspberry frosting and adorn with the sprinkles.

RASPBERRY JAM BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Place butter and jam in a mixing bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
• Cream butter and jam until well incorporated, about 2 minutes.
• Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time until you reach desired consistency.
• If frosting gets too thick you can add a little milk to thin it out.
• If you are not satisfied with the pink colour from the jam/preserves alone add in a drop or two of red food colour to intensify it.
