Prep 10 min Cook 10 min Serves 3 Source

Ingredients

1 cup raspberries ((120g))
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 pound confectioner's sugar ((450g/ about 4 cups))
1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature (226g))

Steps

1
Add the raspberries and lemon juice to a saucepan over medium heat. After the mixture heats up for a few minutes, mash the raspberries then allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes.
2
Strain the mixture into a bowl through a fine mesh sieve, and discard any solids. Cover the raspberry mixture and chill until cold, about 2 hours.
3
Cream the room temperature butter for a few minutes on medium speed with an electric or stand mixer.
4
Gradually beat in the confectioner’s sugar while mixing on low speed, and add the raspberry reduction a tablespoon at a time until the desired color and consistency are reached. (I usually end up using 1/4 cup.) Use the frosting immediately.
