    NOTE: You may need to stop mixing halfway, to scrape the inside of the mixing bowl to incorporate any powdered sugar that needs mixed in.

    Substitutions/Variations

    There are different ways to spice up this buttercream recipe and make it your own! Here are a few of my favorite ideas.

    • Fresh strawberries – Adding chopped strawberries to this recipe would add texture and who doesn’t like fresh strawberries!?
    • Food coloring – If you’re going for a red or darker pink, you can always add food coloring to this easy buttercream frosting. This is the perfect way to give cookies or cupcakes an aesthetic look.
    • Lemon zest – Fresh strawberry frosting combined with lemon zest is the perfect topping on cupcake or cookies during the summer!

    Does strawberry buttercream frosting need to be refrigerated?

    You can leave buttercream frosting out for three days but if you’re going to let it sit for longer, you should refrigerate in an airtight container. You can also store buttercream frosting in the freezer for up to 1 month if you want to save frosting for later!

    Why did my strawberry buttercream separate?

    If your strawberry buttercream separates it means that your fat and liquid were at different temperatures. If any ingredients are too warm or too cold then your frosting might separate. It’s best to use room temperature butter and jam to ensure the perfect frosting!
