Equipment You’ll Need
- Stand mixer with whisk attachment (or hand mixer)
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
- Blender or small food processor for puréeing strawberries
- Storage jar or airtight container
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, room temperature (salted, grass fed butter is best. I personally use Kerrygold)
- 1/4 cup honey (raw, organic, and unfiltered)
- 6 to 7 large strawberries (puréed – I just do this in a food processor)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (optional but highly recommended)
How To Make It
- Place the room temperature butter into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
- Whip the butter on high speed for 3 to 4 minutes until it becomes very light and fluffy. Pause to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the puréed strawberries to the whipped butter and continue whipping on high speed for another 3 to 4 minutes until fully incorporated.
- Add the honey and vanilla bean paste. Continue whipping for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture becomes extra light, fluffy, and turns a soft pale pink color.
- Transfer the whipped strawberry honey butter to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
Dietary Information
This recipe is naturally gluten free and refined sugar free since the sweetness comes entirely from honey and fresh strawberries.
If you prefer a dairy free option, you can substitute a high quality plant based butter alternative. Just make sure it is firm enough to whip so it holds that fluffy texture.
Serving Suggestions
While this butter is incredible on breakfast foods, it can be used in many different ways throughout the day.
Spread it on warm toast, English muffins, biscuits, or homemade muffins for an easy breakfast.
It is also delicious on fresh breads like brioche, dinner rolls, challah, or cornbread. The sweetness from the honey and strawberries pairs beautifully with warm baked goods.
For brunch or dessert, try adding a spoonful on pancakes, waffles, crepes, or warm pound cake. It melts slightly and creates a creamy strawberry glaze.
You can also use it in sweet and savory dishes. A small pat melts beautifully over roasted sweet potatoes, glazed carrots, or warm cornbread served alongside chili.
It also makes a beautiful addition to a brunch board or charcuterie board with croissants, crackers, brie, mascarpone, and fresh berries.
Tips or Variations
- Use very soft room temperature butter. This is key for achieving that smooth whipped texture.
- If your strawberries are very juicy, strain a little excess liquid after puréeing so the butter stays fluffy instead of runny.
- For a brighter strawberry flavor, add a small squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
- You can also swap strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for a fun flavor twist.
- Store the butter in the refrigerator. Before serving again, let it sit out for about 15 to 20 minutes so it softens and spreads easily.
Fun Facts
Whipping butter incorporates air into the mixture, which is what creates that light, fluffy texture and pale color.
Honey has been used as a natural sweetener for thousands of years and enhances fruit flavors rather than overpowering them, which is why it pairs so well with strawberries.
