This quick and easy Raspberry Cheesecake Frosting works beautifully as a filling, too. Use it to dress up a boxed cake mix by spreading this deliciousness between cake layers or on top!
Consider it cream cheese frosting with extra panache. The simple addition of raspberry preserves adds tons of flavor to the frosting and makes any cake extra special.
How to Make Raspberry Cheesecake Frosting
You make the filling just as you would cream cheese or buttercream frosting, by beating together softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla with cream cheese and preserves.
This is my favorite attachment for making frostings! The flex-edge makes creaming so easy.
That’s it. 5 minutes of prep for tons of flavor.
What type of preserves to use?
I have a severe addiction to Bonne Maman preserves of all kinds, so I highly recommend it for its clean, pure fruit taste. However, it does have seeds. If you prefer a seedless version, there are many available.
Variations
This recipe can easily be adapted to any type of preserve-strawberry, blueberry, apricot, peach, blackberry, or even lemon curd- to pair with different flavored cakes.
Swapping out the vanilla extract for almond or lemon adds even more interest.
