Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup finely diced fresh strawberries

Instructions

  • Place the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and salt in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the strawberries and combine using one of these methods:
  • Stir: If you want strawberries to maintain their separation from butter base.
  • Beat with Electric Mixer: If you want some of the strawberries to blend, but want some to maintain their shape and texture.
  • Transfer to a food processor or blender: If you want the strawberries well incorporated into the butter base. (This is the method used in photos)
  • Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding additional powdered sugar.
  • Transfer the strawberry butter to a small serving dish or shape it into a log using parchment paper.

Notes

  • For the creamiest result, soften the butter at room temperature, not in the microwave.
  • If you’re not able to get fresh strawberries, you can use frozen ones, but be sure to thaw, drain, and pat them dry first to reduce excess moisture.
  • Once refrigerated, allow the strawberry butter to sit at room temperature for a bit before serving.
