Ingredients
  

Frosting Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract Use a high-quality strawberry extract for the best flavor.
  • 1 pinch kosher salt Balances the sweetness beautifully.
  • 2 cups confectioners sugar Sifted before use for a smoother texture.
  • 1 jar strawberry marshmallow creme or fluff (7.5 ounces) This gives the frosting its signature marshmallow-like quality.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Ensure your unsalted butter is softened (about 40-60 minutes at room temperature).
  2. Using a handheld mixer, beat the softened butter on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the strawberry extract and kosher salt to the butter and mix on low to combine.
  4. Gradually add the confectioners sugar, half a cup at a time, mixing on low speed to avoid a sugar cloud.
  5. Once all the sugar is in, increase the speed to medium-high and beat for about 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Gently fold in the strawberry marshmallow creme using a spatula until airy and homogenous.

Notes

Strawberry Marshmallow Frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Re-whip it slightly before using. Can be made ahead of time and frozen for up to 3 months.
