Strawberry Icing

Last weekend I made dessert for a dinner get together.  I decided to try whipping up my own version of strawberry icing on top of chocolate cupcakes.  I had some adjusting to do, but the end result was delicious.  This recipe is a "feel it out" recipe.  Maybe one day I'll have it down to an exact measurement.  I'll be sure to give it another try when our strawberries come in the garden.

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp butter
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup pureed frozen strawberries
Powdered sugar (enough to reach desired texture)
sliced fresh strawberries to top

Directions:
1.  Place the butter and cream cheese out and bring to room temperature.  Blend up the strawberries and also bring to room temperature.
2.  combine butter and cream cheese and mix together until fluffy.
3.  Mix in 1 cup of powdered sugar and vanilla.
4.  Mix in the pureed strawberries.
5.  Add enough powdered sugar to bring the icing to your desired texture.  You will use several cups of powdered sugar.  Don't be afraid to add more.

I used this recipe to ice cupcakes.  If you are icing a layered cake, you may want to double the recipe.
