Remove from oven and move cupcakes to cooling racks to finish cooling before frosting.
Begin preparing the frosting by adding the freeze-dried strawberries to a food processor and pulse until a fine dust forms.
In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and pudding mix on medium-high for about 2 minutes. Add in the freeze-dried strawberry powder and beat until light and fluffy.
Pipe the strawberry frosting onto chocolate cupcakes and garnish with sprinkles or fresh strawberries, if desired.
Notes
- Instant white chocolate or cheesecake pudding can be used instead of vanilla for a different flavor.
- The Target variety of freeze-dried strawberries comes in a 1-ounce bag instead of a 1.2, this is plenty, no need to purchase a second bag.
