Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the raspberries over low heat until they release their juices.
  2. Strain the raspberries using a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
