Ingredients

  • 4 oz quartered fresh or frozen strawberries OR 1 cup (16g) freeze-dried strawberries
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ((optional, see note))
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2-4 Tablespoons heavy cream or milk (only if using freeze-dried strawberries)

Directions

  1. 1

    Place quartered strawberries in a small saucepan over medium heat and add 1 Tablespoon of water (this will keep the berries from burning to the bottom of the pan).

  2. 2

    Place freeze dried berries in a small food processor and pulse until they’ve become a fine powder. Set aside.
