Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Hull and chop the strawberries into small pieces. Place them into a small food processor or blender and pulse until smooth. You can leave a few small chunks for texture if desired.
- Whip the Butter:
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened butter using an electric mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add Strawberry Puree:
- Gradually add the pureed strawberries, powdered sugar, and optional honey and vanilla extract to the whipped butter. Continue to beat the mixture on high for another 2-3 minutes, until it’s light, fluffy, and well combined.
- Taste and Adjust:
- Taste the butter and adjust sweetness if needed, adding a little more powdered sugar or honey to your liking.
- Serve:
- Transfer the whipped strawberry butter to a small dish or jar. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for later use. This butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use browned butter or substitute half of the butter with mascarpone cheese.
- This whipped strawberry butter is perfect for spreading on freshly baked bread, scones, muffins, or pancakes.
- If you have leftover butter, it can be frozen for up to 3 months. Just let it thaw in the fridge before using.
