Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (about 75 grams) fresh strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Soften the butter by leaving it at room temperature for about 30 minutes until soft but not melted. Alternatively, microwave for 10-15 seconds carefully.
- Hull and roughly chop the fresh strawberries. For a smoother spread, mash lightly or pulse briefly in a food processor.
- Place softened butter, chopped strawberries, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl.
- Whip the mixture using an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2 to 3 minutes until light, fluffy, and well incorporated.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired, whipping briefly again. Add a splash of milk if the texture is too thick.
- Spoon the whipped strawberry butter into a clean jar or container and chill for at least 15 minutes to firm up, or enjoy immediately for a soft spread.
Notes
Use softened butter for best whipping results. If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain excess juice to avoid runny texture. Do not overmix to prevent oily texture. A hand mixer is recommended for fluffiness but whisking by hand is possible with more effort.
