Fruit Powder Frosting - Freeze Dried Pantry

Contributed By: Adventures in Freeze Drying

This recipe will make enough frosting to frost 12 cupcakes (3 cups)

Directions:

1. In a medium to large mixing bowl, combine the whipping cream, pudding mix, and confectioners sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium-high speed to beat the mixture until stiff peaks form, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. The frosting should be thick and hold its shape when the beaters are lifted.
2. Sift the freeze-dried fruit powder to remove any clumps, then gently fold it into the frosting until fully incorporated. Adjust the amount to taste, adding more for a stronger fruit flavor or less for a milder taste.
3. Store the frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator if using within a few days. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed container.
