This frosting is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I always have a bag of cranberries in my freezer, and this frosting is a great way to use them up.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my frosting turned out grainy. I think I might have overmixed it.

I had some trouble getting the frosting to the right consistency. It was too runny at first, so I had to add more powdered sugar. Then it was too thick, so I had to add more milk. But once I got it right, it was delicious.

This frosting is a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or adding some tart fruit, like lemon juice or orange zest, to balance out the sweetness.

I was a little hesitant to try this frosting because I'm not a big fan of almond butter. But I'm so glad I did! The almond butter flavor is subtle and it pairs perfectly with the cranberries.

This frosting is absolutely delicious! It's the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the almond butter gives it a wonderful nutty flavor. I used it to frost a batch of cupcakes, and they were a hit with everyone who tried them.
