1 cup white chocolate chips

Process freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until finely powdered, or use pre-packaged strawberry powder. Ensure an even, fine consistency.

In a mixing bowl, blend strawberry powder with powdered sugar until the color is uniformly pink throughout. Transfer the mixture to a 1-gallon freezer bag and seal. Set aside.
