Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries chopped
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 4 - 4 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 3-4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cut the tops off of the strawberries and place strawberries in a blender or food processor. Puree strawberries until smooth, you should have about 1 ½ cups of puree.
- Place the strawberry puree in a medium non-stick saucepan. Heat over medium heat and let simmer while stirring until reduced to ⅓-½ cup (approx 25-30 minutes) or until the puree is just a bit thinner than tomato paste. Cool completely. (This step can be done 48 hours before making the frosting).
- Cream the butter, vanilla, and a pinch of salt with a hand mixer on medium until fluffy. Add the cooled puree and mix well.
- Add powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time mixing after each addition.
- Continue beating until the frosting is thick and fluffy. If the mixture is too thick, heavy cream can be added 1 tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency.
- Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
Notes
- The larger the pan or pot, the faster the puree will thicken.
- Use a non-stick pan or the strawberry mixture will stick/burn.
- The puree should be just about the consistency of tomato paste.
- Ensure cupcakes are cool before frosting or the butter in the frosting will melt.
- Keep buttercream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Let it come to room temperature before using.
- Freeze strawberry buttercream for up to 3 months in a zippered bag.
