Strawberry butter
A two ingredient strawberry butter that tastes just like when butter and strawberry jam melt together on hot toast. It's easy to make and so delicious!

- 250 ml cream min 35% fat content
- 15 g freeze dried strawberries
First prepare the strawberry powder by adding the freeze dried strawberries to a high powered blender and blitzing until they form a powder. Set aside.
To make the butter - put the cream in a stand mixer and whisk on medium speed until the fat separates from the liquid and you’re left with butter and buttermilk - this can take several minutes.
Strain the butter and reserve the buttermilk - you can use this for a plethora of things (I love using it in place of Greek yoghurt in my banana bread recipe!)
Next place the butter mass into a large bowl of ice cold water (add ice cubes into a bowl of cold water) and knead, rinse and squeeze several times to remove as much of the buttermilk as possible - this helps it last longer.
Lightly spread the butter out onto a clean work surface and pour over the strawberry powder. Use your hands or a palette knife to incorporate the powder into the butter until it's totally homogenous.
Use parchment paper to roughly form the strawberry butter into a block, then wrap it up in said parchment and store in the fridge.
This homemade butter should last anywhere between 1-2 weeks when stored in the fridge.
If you don't want to make your own butter, simply use approx 125ml softened unsalted butter in its place.
