Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Rinse the fresh strawberries under cold running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Hull the strawberries (remove the green tops) and chop them into small pieces.
Using a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth. If you prefer, you can leave some small chunks for texture.
In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the unsalted butter until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar to the butter and continue to mix until well combined.
Gradually add the pureed strawberries and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until all the ingredients are smooth and fully incorporated.
Taste the strawberry butter and adjust the sweetness by adding more powdered sugar if needed.
Transfer the strawberry butter to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
Serve the strawberry butter chilled or at room temperature on your favorite baked goods.
