1 cup unsalted butter ensures a creamy base that highlights the strawberry flavor
2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries provides a concentrated strawberry essence for that beautiful pink hue
1 tablespoon powdered sugar adds just the right touch of sweetness
1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances the overall taste
1 pinch salt balances sweetness and brings out the rich flavors
1 drop red food coloring optional for extra vibrant pink

Prepare the Strawberries: Place 2 tablespoons of freeze-dried strawberries into a food processor. Pulse for 20 to 30 seconds until they turn into a fine powder.
Cream the Butter: Add 1 cup of softened unsalted butter to the processor. Blend for 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down sides halfway through.
Add Flavor Enhancements: Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes.
Adjust the Color: If desired, add a drop of red food coloring and blend for an additional 20 to 30 seconds until color is even.
Finalize the Mixture: Scrape down any lingering mixture and give the butter a final pulse for 15 seconds for an even texture.
Chill and Set: Transfer the butter to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months. Let thaw in the fridge when ready to use.
