I recently made the strawberry frosting recipe from the Cake Mix Doctor . The recipe is:
1 stick of butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped strawberries
The frosting tastes really good,but it's too "runny". Is there a way to thicken it up without adding more confectioners'sugar?

I make a similar icing that uses fresh strawberries as the only liquid, but I puree the strawberries rather than chop them. The sugar will draw liquid from the little chunks of berries, which is probably what happened to water down your batch. Pureeing pretty much destroys all of the cell walls and allows the juices to escape immediately. I have never yet (knocking on wood) had problems with the pureed berries.
