Something about a fancied-up butter that makes any meal feel special, am I right? And strawberry butter not only tastes great, but it’s absolutely gorgeous, too. Talk about a decadent superstar for tea time with the girls or a big old brunch spread! Would you like another reason to add strawberry butter to the menu? With only three ingredients and about five minutes to whip this spread together, it’s crazy easy. Look for the reddest, juiciest, and most aromatic strawberries you can find. The riper they are, the stronger the strawberry flavor will be. Plus, they’ll be easier to process or mash, and the results will be creamier. 🍓

How to Make Strawberry Butter
Mix the Ingredients
Puree – Add the strawberries to a small food processor and puree to the desired texture, or use a fork and mash them by hand. (Photos 1-2) Combine – Place the butter, sugar, and ½ of the pureed strawberries in a medium bowl. Mix all the ingredients with a hand-held mixer until thoroughly blended. (Photo 3) Taste Test – Adjust your strawberry butter (if needed) to the desired texture with more powdered sugar or pureed strawberries. (If using honey, adjust the quantity to taste as it is sweeter than powdered sugar.) (Photo 4)
Chill and Serve
Store – Transfer the strawberry butter to a serving dish or mold. Chill – Refrigerate it for at least an hour so the flavors meld and the butter firms up. Serve – Let it soften at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
