Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup softened butter Use room temperature for the creamiest texture.
  • 4 cups powdered sugar Add more if needed for stability.
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream Adjust consistency as needed.
  • 1 cup ripe strawberries, pureed Let sit to release juice for more flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until well combined.
  3. Add the heavy cream and strawberry puree, then beat on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Adjust the consistency with more cream or sugar as needed — it should be spreadable but not runny!
  5. Use immediately to frost cupcakes, layer cakes, or spread on cookies.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before re-beating.
