  • Tip 1: Make sure the butter and cream cheese is at the same room temperature. If you notice the cream cheese is slightly colder, it can cause the frosting to split.
  • Tip 2: Beat the butter first for 2 minutes and then add the cream cheese and beat for 1 minute. You want to make sure the frosting is nice and fluffy. Don’t add them both in at the same time. It will be a denser frosting. Also make sure to scrape the bowl so any butter or cream cheese chunks gets mixed in.
  • Tip 3: Make sure to ground up the freeze dried raspberries to a fine crumb. You can find these at Amazon, Target, Whole Foods, and more! I got mine at Target.
