Real Strawberry Frosting image

I wanted REAL strawberry frosting for my Real Strawberry Cupcakes and could not find an acceptable recipe. I wanted an intense strawberry taste without using an extract or gelatin. I came up with this recipe using a strawberry puree reduction that is truly the strawberry-est. If you love strawberries, you'll LOVE THIS!!!

I was disappointed with this frosting. It was too runny and didn't hold up well on my cupcakes.

This frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
