Vanilla bean buttercream
Step 1
Use hand mixer to beat ghee (or butter) and salt.
Step 2
Whisk in powdered sugar, until combined. It will look a little clumpy (sort of like crumble topping)
Step 3
add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Whisk again.
Step 4
Continue to add tablespoons of heavy cream until smooth, frosting consistency forms. (I used about three tablespoons)
Step 5
Once blondies have cooled, spread frosting over top... Dust with additional (crushed) dehydrated strawberries, and flaky salt.
