For the most intense strawberry flavor, use ripe, in-season strawberries. Ensure the strawberry purée is completely cool before adding it to the butter mixture, or it may melt the butter. Sifting the confectioners' sugar is crucial for a smooth, lump-free frosting. If the frosting is too thin, add a little more confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. If it's too thick, add a tiny splash of milk or cream. This frosting is best used immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.
