Equipment
- Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
- baking sheet
- Parchment Paper:
- mixing bowls
- Silicone Spatula
- Airtight storage container
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Tiny pinch flaky sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon Optional: freeze-dried strawberry powder for extra flavor and color
Instructions
Roast the strawberries:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Spread diced strawberries onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
- Roast for 18–20 minutes until soft, jammy, and slightly caramelized.
- Let cool completely.
Mash the berries:
- Lightly mash the cooled strawberries with a fork. You want small pieces, not completely pureed.
Whip the butter:
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add honey, powdered sugar, vanilla, and sea salt.
- Beat again until smooth.
. Fold everything together:
- Gently fold in the roasted strawberries and freeze-dried strawberry powder if using.
- Whip for another 30 seconds until beautifully pink and fluffy.
Notes
- The butter color deepens after chilling.
- Freeze-dried strawberry powder is optional but makes the flavor taste extra bakery-style.
- If your strawberries are extra juicy, blot lightly with paper towels after roasting.
- This also makes an amazing edible gift in little mason jars with a cute little bow.
