A light and airy frosting infused with the perfect amount of strawberry flavor. This homemade Strawberry Whipped Cream Frosting lasts for days and holds its shape like buttercream. Yum!

Strawberry frosting with a twist – our creamy, light and not-too-sweet Whipped Cream frosting is infused with fresh strawberries and boy is this recipe a winner. When buttercream is too heavy give our Strawberry Whipped Cream Frosting a try. We think you’ll love it!

We flavored our Strawberry Whipped Cream Frosting with fresh strawberries but frozen will also work. Give them a quick chop, place them in a food processor and puree. (No extra sugar needed.) One cup of strawberries equaled 1/2 cup of strawberry puree but you’ll only need 1/4 of puree a single batch of frosting.

For best results, put the mixing bowl (stainless steel is the best) you will be using to make the frosting in the freezer for at least an hour prior to making your Strawberry Whipped Cream Frosting. Add the whipping cream and the strawberry puree into the bowl.

Mix the strawberry/whipping cream on high and until soft peaks form. Then add the powdered sugar. Continue to mix on high. Just before you get to stiff peaks add the White Chocolate Pudding mix. Lower to a slow speed and continue to mix the whipping cream and the pudding. When the frosting starts to come together, stop the mixer and scrape down the sides. Also check to make sure the pudding hasn’t clumped on the bottom. Fold the mixture a couple of times with a spoon. Turn the mixer back on for just a few revolutions. DO NOT OVER MIX or you will end up with strawberry butter! If the frosting gets too thick add a little bit of milk 1 teaspoon at a time.

Two Sisters Tip: If the frosting doesn’t have a pretty enough pink color, add a tiny drop of pink food coloring.

How much Strawberry Whipped Cream Frosting will you need?

How much frosting will you need? That always depends on how thick or thin you apply the frosting or how much decorating you do but here are a couple of guidelines. Our recipe should make enough Strawberry Whipped Cream Frosting to cover a 9″ x 13″ sheet cake or a two-layer 8″ cake. If you are making cupcakes, you should be able to frost 24 cupcakes if you apply the frosting with a knife. If you swirl on the frosting with a pastry bag like we have done here, you should be able to frost 15-18 cupcakes depending on the size of the swirl.

Whipped Cream Frosting is so good. Light and fluffy and perfect on so many different desserts. And the added flavor of fresh strawberries really takes this recipe to the next level!
