Ingredients
- 1 cup of unsalted butter softened.
- 1/2 cup of fresh strawberries finely minced.
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- 1 pinch of kosher salt.
Instructions
Soften the Butter
- Leave the butter on the counter for one hour. It must be very soft to mix.
Prep the Berries
- Wash and dry the strawberries very well. Chop them into very tiny little pieces.
Whip the Butter
- Put the butter in the mixing bowl. Beat it until it looks very fluffy.
Add the Sugar
- Pour the powdered sugar into the bowl slowly. Mix it on a low speed first.
Add the Flavor
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. This makes the flavor much deeper.
Fold in Fruit
- Add the tiny strawberry pieces to the bowl. Use a spatula to fold them in.
Mix the Color
- Keep stirring until the butter turns a light pink. The juice will color the butter.
Chill and Serve
- Put the butter in a small jar. Keep it in the fridge until you eat.
Notes
- Use real butter. Margarine will not taste as rich or creamy.
- Dry the berries. Extra water can make the butter separate.
- Mince very finely. You want tiny bits of fruit in every bite.
- Use a mixer. This makes the butter light like a cloud.
- Try honey. You can use honey instead of sugar for sweetness.
- Serve at room temp. Let it soften before spreading on toast.
