Christina's Notes

  • Fresh Raspberries: A 6 oz. clamshell of fresh raspberries can be pureed and used for this recipe.
  • Decorate: Utilize fresh raspberries to decorate your dessert so everyone knows what is in it.
  • Variation tip: Food Coloring can be used to get a more intense color.
  • Alternate ingredient: Strawberries can be used with this recipe to change it up.
  • Raspberry Cream Cheese Frosting: Replace the butter with cream cheese to make a cream cheese version of this frosting.
