Repeat with the remaining powdered sugar. 25 Continue to beat the buttercream on low speed while slowly pouring in the heavy whipping cream. Continue to beat until it has been completely incorporated. 30 Add the freeze dried raspberry powder. Fold by hand with a spatula until smooth and well combined. 28 Assess the buttercream's consistency:Too thin? Add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar at a time until desired consistency. Too thick?
