Strawberry Buttercream
A simple, small batch of strawberry buttercream. It's much easier to make than you'd ever think and tastes berry delicious!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups (156g) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter
- 2 tbs (57g) strawberry preserves
- 1 pinch (.25g) salt
Instructions
- Mash by hand or use a blender berries until a paste forms. You can strain out seeds if desired.
- Cream butter and add in berries. Beat well.
- Add sugar slowly, a spoonful at a time on low speed or mix by hand. This helps prevent gritty frosting.
Notes
This is a small batch of buttercream for a dozen cupcakes or small 6" (15cm) cake. Double for a 9" (23cm) cake.
Jelly, jam, mashed fresh or freeze dried powdered berries can also be substituted for the preserves. Start out at 1 tsp and add more to get the desired taste.
You can add a touch of milk or cream to create a looser consistency. Just take it slow, 1/2 tsp at a time.
