I was looking for an icing recipe for a long time that used fresh raspberries as well as chocolate. However, no such thing seemed to exist, so I came up with this one! It tastes amazing with chocolate anything, and has a really prominent fruity flavor. So, here's my recipe for chocolate-raspberry icing! I used this icing to make an amazing chocolate cake.

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

1 ¼ cups fresh raspberries
⅔ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
½ cup milk
4 tablespoons salted butter
1 ½ tablespoons cocoa 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.
