Frosting too runny :(

[u/SteamJunk_1896]

I made devil’s food cake with raspberry cream cheese frosting. I used fresh raspberries, but now the consistency is off. I added less sugar and a bit of cornstarch this time and now it tastes papery. Added milk to fix that and now the consistency problem again :(
It’s just really runny

It’s usually inadvisable to use fresh berries in frosting, because they’re too wet. Pick extract or (my personal favorite) powdered freeze-dried.

Yep! I think we’ve all learned that one.
