If you know me at all, you know that my current "thing" is cupcakes. I love, love, love creating and baking yummy and pretty cupcakes. I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity it gives me to be creative and, to be honest, I like that people like them! So, one of the fun cupcakes I recently made had a Fruity Pebbles buttercream and it was de-li-cious! As a child this was one of my favorite cereals so this one was very nostalgic for me. I used a Funfetti cake mix for the cake. I would definitely recommend serving these pretty quickly if you want the texture of the cereal. When they sit for a while the flavor develops more but they also become a little chewy. Anyway, enough commentary! Here's the recipe for the buttercream. Make these and enjoy them!
Fruity Pebble Buttercream
Ingredients
- 1 cup finely crushed Fruity Pebbles (about 2 1/2 cups un-crushed)
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
- 2 cups powdered sugar (You may need more for piping consistency)
- 2 Tablespoons milk
How to Make
- Cream your butter and shortening together until smooth
- On low speed slowly add in your powdered sugar, when incorporated, add your milk and turn speed up to medium and beat until smooth and fluffy.
- Turn back to low speed and add in your crushed Fruity Pebbles cereal and mix until incorporated.
