Remove the unsalted butter from the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Rinse the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
Remove the green tops of the strawberries and chop them into small pieces.
Use a food processor or blender to puree the chopped strawberries until they form a smooth texture. Alternatively, you can mash them with a fork for a chunkier consistency if desired.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened butter and strawberry puree. Use a hand mixer or spatula to mix until the butter and strawberries are fully incorporated.
Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if using) to the mixture. Continue mixing until creamy and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Taste your strawberry butter and adjust sweetness by adding more powdered sugar if needed.
Transfer the strawberry butter to an airtight container or roll it into a log using parchment paper for a polished presentation.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Before serving, allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften.
