Neiman Marcus Strawberry Butter

This Strawberry Butter is a luxurious and fruity spread that pairs beautifully with bread, pastries, or scones. It’s inspired by the classic Neiman Marcus recipe and is perfect for elevating any breakfast or brunch table.

Ingredients (Makes ~1 cup):

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped or mashed
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Butter Base:

    • In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter with a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

  2. Incorporate the Sugar:

    • Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter, beating until fully combined and smooth.

  3. Add the Strawberries:

    • Gently fold in the chopped or mashed strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the butter.

  4. Flavor with Vanilla:

    • Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the sweetness and aroma of the spread.

  5. Chill:

    • Transfer the strawberry butter to a small bowl or ramekin. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the butter firm up.

  6. Serve:

    • Serve chilled or at room temperature with warm bread, croissants, muffins, or scones.

Tips and Variations:

  • Strawberry Texture: For a smoother butter, puree the strawberries before mixing.
  • Add Zest: Incorporate a pinch of lemon or orange zest for a citrusy twist.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Let it soften at room temperature before serving.
  • Gift Idea: Pack the butter in a small decorative jar with a ribbon for a thoughtful homemade gift.
