Ingredients
½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow creme
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
3 tablespoons strawberry preserves
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
pinch salt
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes on medium speed.
2. Add the marshmallow creme to the butter and beat until light and fluffy, about 1–2 minutes.
3. Mix in the strawberry preserves and vanilla extract until fully combined and evenly colored.
4. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, beating on low and then increasing speed until smooth and fluffy.
5. Add a pinch of salt and whip for an additional 30 seconds for extra fluffiness. Taste and adjust salt or preserves if desired.
6. Frost cakes, cupcakes, cookies, or use as a dip. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 5 days and re-whip before using.
Notes
Always use room temperature butter for the fluffiest, smoothest texture.
For a stronger berry flavor, use high-quality preserves with real fruit bits.
If piping, chill frosting 15 minutes for extra definition on cakes or cupcakes.
