  • 1tablespoonlemon juice
  • confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
  • ½cupmilk
  • 4tablespoonssalted butter
  • 1 ½tablespoonscocoa powder, or more to taste

  • Directions

    Bring raspberries, white sugar, and lemon juice to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Strain; cool 5 minutes.

    Add confectioners' sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa powder; whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust flavorings as needed.

    Beat with a whisk for a thick and creamy icing. Cool before using.



    Cook's Notes:

    Substitute 2 teaspoons lemon extract for lemon juice if desired.

    You can save the strained raspberry seeds and thicker juice in an airtight container for a great makeshift jam.

    Add up to 6 tablespoons more butter if whipping is not working well.
