Description
A silky, naturally pink buttercream frosting made with a concentrated fresh strawberry reduction for maximum flavor and stability.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 cup strawberry puree, reduced from fresh berries
Instructions
Step 1: Blend fresh strawberries and simmer in a saucepan until the volume is reduced by half to create a concentrated puree.
Step 2: Chill the strawberry reduction completely in the refrigerator.
Step 3: Cream the softened butter in a stand mixer on medium-high speed for 5 minutes until very light and fluffy.
Step 4: Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar on low speed, then increase to medium until fully incorporated.
Step 5: Add the cold strawberry reduction and beat on high for 2 minutes until the Fresh Strawberry Buttercream Frosting is airy and pink.
Notes
Ensure the strawberry reduction is completely cold before adding to the butter to prevent the frosting from melting.
