Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff
1/3 cup strawberry preserves
1 1/2 to 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
Optional: a few drops red or pink food coloring
Optional: 1 teaspoon freeze-dried strawberry powder
Instructions
- Allow your butter to come to room temperature for smooth blending.
- Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the butter on medium-high for 3–4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the marshmallow fluff and mix on medium until well combined and fluffy.
- Mix in the strawberry preserves or puree until the frosting turns a light pink.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar while mixing on low, then increase to medium-high. Adjust sugar to achieve desired consistency.
- Add vanilla extract and salt, then mix just until combined.
- Taste and adjust with more preserves or powdered sugar if needed.
- If the frosting is too soft, chill for 10–15 minutes before piping or spreading.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Re-whip before using if refrigerated.
Notes
- For the best texture, ensure butter is softened but not melted.
- Sift powdered sugar to prevent lumps in the frosting.
- For a stronger strawberry flavor and color, add freeze-dried strawberry powder.
- Frosting can be made 2 days ahead; re-whip before using.
