Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 7 oz marshmallow fluff one standard jar
  • 3 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 1.2 oz freeze-dried strawberries about 1 1/4 cups
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Equipment

  • 1 Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • 1 Blender or Food Processor For making the strawberry powder.
  • 1 Spatula

Instructions
 

  1. Place the freeze-dried strawberries into a high-powered blender or food processor. Pulse until they form a fine powder.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a hand mixer), beat the room temperature butter on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes, until pale and creamy.
  3. Add the marshmallow fluff, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix on medium speed until combined and smooth.
  4. Turn the mixer to low and gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and the strawberry powder. Mix until just combined.
  5. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and whip for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light, fluffy, and has increased in volume. Use immediately or store as directed.

Notes

Room Temperature Ingredients: For the smoothest frosting, ensure your butter is softened but not greasy.
Sifting is a Must: Sift both the powdered sugar and strawberry powder to avoid any lumps for a silky smooth texture.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Let it come to room temperature and re-whip briefly before using.
