Print Recipe

A quick and easy creamy strawberry butter spread made with fresh strawberries, butter, and a touch of sweetness, perfect for breakfast or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1½ cups (225g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 small lemon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon strawberry jam or preserves

Instructions

  1. Wash, hull, and chop about 1½ cups (225g) of fresh strawberries. For ultra-smooth butter, pulse them a few times in a food processor or blender until finely chopped but not pureed.
  2. Make sure your unsalted butter is at room temperature—soft but not melted. Cut into cubes and let sit for 15 minutes if needed to soften faster.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat ½ cup (115g) softened butter with ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed. Whip for about 3-4 minutes until light, fluffy, and slightly pale in color.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped or processed strawberries, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, the finely grated zest of 1 lemon, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until evenly distributed but do not overmix.
  5. Taste the strawberry butter and stir in 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam or preserves if a sweeter or more berry-forward flavor is desired.
  6. Transfer the strawberry butter to a clean jar or airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and butter firm up slightly.
  7. Serve by spreading on warm toast, muffins, or pancakes. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes if too firm.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for best whipping results. Powdered sugar ensures a smooth texture. Avoid over-processing strawberries to maintain texture. Chill before serving for easier spreading. Keeps up to 2 weeks refrigerated and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
