Add vanilla, a pinch or two of salt and slowly add powdered sugar. Add about 1/4 cup at a time to avoid a mess! If you'd like your frosting to be sweeter vs. tangier, add more sugar. Combine with mixer.

Using a small melon-baller, or carefully with a paring knife, scoop out the inside of the strawberry. Pat the top dry again. The frosting will stay best on a dry surface.

Fill a gallon sized zipper storage bag with the frosting and cut the tip off of the bag to pipe the frosting. I made 20 strawberries with this recipe, but there is plenty of leftover frosting to make more!
