Ingredients
- Unsalted butter, softened
- Cream cheese, softened
- Confectioners’ sugar
- Strawberry jam
- Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place the softened butter and cream cheese into a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is completely creamy and free of lumps.
- Turn the mixer to low speed and gradually add the confectioners’ sugar about one cup at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth.
- Beat in the strawberry jam and vanilla extract, increasing the mixer speed slightly until the mixture is a uniform pink and has a luscious, spreadable consistency.
Notes
For a perfectly silky finish, consider sifting your confectioners’ sugar before adding it to the butter mixture to eliminate any stubborn clumps. Using a high-quality, seedless strawberry jam will provide the smoothest texture and most consistent natural pink color without adding excess moisture.
