Strawberry frosting recipe?!


Question: Would it be okay to use strawberry flavoring in a regular frosting recipe??? I use powdered sugar, butter, vanilla (would I substitute the vanilla for strawberry???) and milk for creaminess....
Should I just substitute the strawberry flavoring for vanilla extract? or strawberry extract????

I would use either strawberry extract or strawberry flavour.
As for adding milk, yes but only 1 tbsp at a time. Icing becomes too thin with addition of liquids. strawberry jam can also be used to flavor your icing, but it will not be as smooth.The color can be enhanced with red food coloring by the drop only, it's very concentrated.

Hope i helped!


FROSTED STRAWBERRIES

2 qt. strawberries
1/2 c. chopped pistachio nuts
1 container vanilla ready-to-spread frosting
6 tbsp. brandy

Place frosting and brandy in bowl or pan. Place over hot, not boiling, water and stir until melted and smooth. Cool just slightly. Hold strawberries by their hulls and dip in the melted frosting until covered 3/4. Twist wrist to remove excess frosting. Dip into dish with the chopped pistachios. Place on wax paper and refrigerate until ready to serve.

This is how I make it

Strawberry Frosting:
Ingredients:
2 envelopes (1.3 ounces each) whipped topping mix
2/3cup milk
1 cup (6 ounces) white chocolate chips, melted
1/4 cup strawberry jam
Beat whipped topping mix and milk in medium bowl with electric mixer at low speed until blended. Beat at high speed 4 minutes until topping thickens and forms peaks. With mixer at low speed, beat melted chocolate into topping. Add jam; beat until blended. Chill 15 minutes or until spreading consistency.
