In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter.
Using a fork or hand mixer, cream the butter until smooth and fluffy.
Gently mash the fresh raspberries with a fork in a separate small bowl, leaving small chunks for texture.
Add the mashed raspberries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice to the creamed butter.
Stir together gently until the mixture is fully combined and the butter is evenly tinted with the raspberries’ color.
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more powdered sugar if desired.
Transfer the raspberry butter to a serving dish or roll it into a log using parchment paper for easy storage.
Chill the raspberry butter in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
Serve at room temperature by spreading it over bread, scones, pancakes, or waffles.
