A delightful raspberry-infused frosting that is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, or as a sweet topping for your favorite desserts.
In a food processor, combine the cream cheese, butter, and shortening. Blend until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Ensure the ingredients are at room temperature for smoother blending.
Add the raspberry preserves and raspberry extract to the mixture. Blend until fully incorporated.
Use high-quality preserves for a more pronounced raspberry flavor.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, blending after each addition, until the desired consistency is achieved.
For a stiffer frosting, add more powdered sugar; for a glaze-like consistency, use less.
Transfer the frosting to a mixing bowl and give it a final stir with a spatula to ensure even texture.
This step ensures the frosting is smooth and ready to use.
Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator until needed. Enjoy decorating your desserts!
Bring the frosting to room temperature before using if stored in the refrigerator.
