Ingredients

Scale

Frosting Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ teaspoon strawberry extract
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 2 cups (250 g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 jar (7.5 ounces) strawberry marshmallow creme (or fluff)

Instructions

  1. Beat Butter: In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat the softened butter on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 2 minutes.
  2. Add Flavorings: Mix in the strawberry extract and a pinch of kosher salt to the butter to enhance the sweetness and balance the flavors.
  3. Incorporate Sugar: Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar to the butter mixture, adding it about ½ cup at a time. Mix well after each addition to avoid lumps. Once all sugar is added, beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
  4. Fold in Marshmallow Creme: Using a spatula, gently fold the strawberry marshmallow creme into the frosting mixture until it is completely combined and airy, giving the frosting a light texture and enhanced strawberry flavor.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure butter is properly softened to room temperature before starting.
  • Adjust the amount of strawberry extract based on desired intensity of flavor.
  • If you prefer a less sweet frosting, reduce confectioners’ sugar slightly, but be mindful it may affect frosting consistency.
  • This frosting is best used immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before use.
