Instructions

1. – In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

2. – Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

3. – Add the crushed freeze-dried strawberries, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat on medium-high speed until the buttercream is light, fluffy, and well combined, about 3-5 minutes.

4. – Use the Freeze-Dried Strawberry Buttercream immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or other desserts. Leftover buttercream can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality, fresh freeze-dried strawberries. The buttercream can also be tinted with a few drops of pink food coloring for an even more vibrant hue. Serve the frosted desserts chilled or at room temperature.
