Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup soft butter
  • ⅓ fresh raspberries more or less
  • dash of salt
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 ½ cups powdered sugar more or less

Instructions
 

  • Beat butter till smooth and creamy. Add about half of the raspberries, the salt, and the vanilla.
  • Beat in about half of the powdered sugar. Continue beating in raspberries and powdered sugar till you get a smooth consistency.
  • The raspberries will thin the frosting, the powdered sugar will thicken it.

Notes

-I used fresh raspberries, but I think frozen raspberries would work as well. They tend to be more juicy, so start with a small amount first. And of course thaw them before you add them so you don't break your mixer! :)
