Actually, this is a recipe for the frosting only. I wasn't happy with the lemon cupcake part, but I was VERY happy with how the frosting turned out after some tweaks. Will make again, trying a different lemon cupcake recipe for the base.

Fresh Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting
This makes enough frosting for 4 dozen cupcakes.

Ingredients:

1 c. strawberries
1 c. butter, softened
1 pkg cream cheese, softened
4 c. confectioner's sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Directions

Chop strawberries in the food processor (or by hand) until they are slightly blended but still have large chunks.

Add butter and cream cheese to stand mixer bowl. Whip thoroughly.

Add powdered sugar 1 c. at a time until combined.

Add vanilla and strawberries and briefly mix. You don't want the strawberries to be fully blended in--strawberry streaks are great and look pretty!
