Dye-Free Berry Icing with Ruvi Active

This simple, creamy frosting is naturally pink, thanks to the real fruit and veggies in Ruvi Active. It adds a fruity twist to classic buttercream without any artificial coloring!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Ruvi Active

  • 1 cup (16 Tbsp; 226g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

  • 4 cups (480g) confectioners’ sugar

  • 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream or whole milk, at room temperature

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt (if needed, to balance sweetness)

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.

  2. Add confectioners’ sugar, Ruvi Active, heavy cream/milk, and vanilla.

  3. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes.

  4. Taste and adjust consistency if needed. Add 1–2 more tablespoons of heavy cream/milk if you prefer a thinner texture.

  5. If the frosting is too sweet, add a pinch of salt to balance the flavor.

  6. Frost your cupcakes using a piping bag or a spatula, then enjoy!
