Description
This Fruity Pebbles Frosting is light, fluffy, and filled with the fun flavor of cereal. Perfect for frosting your cakes and cupcakes!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
- ¼ cup heavy cream (plus more as needed for texture)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups Fruity Pebbles cereal, crushed slightly
- Optional: 1–2 tablespoons Fruity Pebbles cereal milk (steep cereal in milk for 10 minutes, strain, and use in place of part of the cream)
Instructions
- CREAM THE BUTTER: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- ADD POWDERED SUGAR: Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until fully combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure even mixing.
- ADD CREAM AND FLAVOR: Add the vanilla extract, salt, and heavy cream. If using Fruity Pebbles cereal milk, substitute 1–2 tablespoons of the cream with it. Beat on medium-high speed for another 2 minutes until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
- FOLD IN THE FRUITY PEBBLES: Gently fold in the crushed Fruity Pebbles with a spatula. Mix just until incorporated to keep the cereal specks visible and maintain some crunch.
- FROST AND USE: Use immediately to frost cooled cakes or cupcakes. This frosting spreads easily and holds its shape well for piping designs.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, adjust the amount of heavy cream as needed.
- This frosting can be made ahead of time, but it’s best used fresh.
