Strawberry icing

Strawberry icing

4 T (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
4 C sifted confectioner's sugar, about a pound
6 ripe strawberries, hulled and mashed


Place the butter and 2 C of the sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat at low speed until blended. Add the mashed strawberries and mix at medium speed until well combined. Add the remaining 2 C sugar and beat until creamy and smooth. The icing should be thick enough to stand up on a spoon. If too thin, add more confectioner's sugar. If too thick, add a teaspoon or two of milk.
