Strawberry Butter
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: about 1 ¼ cup butter 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup strawberries, chopped small (about 6–7 strawberries)
- 1 cup salted butter, softened*see note
- ½ cup powdered sugar *see note
Instructions
- Mash the strawberries in a bowl with a fork to release the juice and have them really smashed, but still have some small chunks. You could also do this in a food processor.
- Whip the softened butter and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer for 3-4 minutes until super light and fluffy.
- Add the strawberry puree and juice to the butter mixture.
- Mix until well combined. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
-
- Use ripe, fresh strawberries. If they’re overripe they will water down the butter.
-
- Let the butter come to room temperature. You can check if it’s ready by touching it and see if you indent it, but it must not be greasy.
-
- Are you team smooth or team strawberry bits? If you like it smooth, use a food processor, and if you want pops of strawberry, then use a fork.
