Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Hand mixer or stand mixer
- Rubber spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Small storage container with lid
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened, room temperature
- ½ cup fresh strawberries finely chopped
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Wash strawberries thoroughly under cold water.
- Pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- Remove green tops and chop into tiny pieces.
- Smaller pieces blend better into the butter mixture.
- Leave butter at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- It should be soft but not melted.
- Press it gently with your finger to test.
- It should leave an indentation easily.
- Put softened butter in your mixing bowl.
- Beat it on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- The butter should look light and fluffy now.
- Add powdered sugar, honey, and vanilla extract slowly.
- Beat everything together for another 2 minutes.
- Scrape down the bowl sides with your spatula.
- Gently fold chopped strawberries into the butter mixture.
- Use your spatula for this step carefully.
- Don't overmix or the butter becomes runny.
- Transfer mixture into your clean storage container.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
- This helps flavors blend together beautifully.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter for easiest mixing results.
- Fresh strawberries work much better than frozen ones.
- Frozen berries release too much water into mixture.
- Adjust sweetness based on your personal taste preferences.
- Add more honey if you prefer sweeter butter.
- Store in the fridge for up to one week.
- Let it sit out 10 minutes before serving.
- This makes spreading much easier on your bread.
