Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Unsalted butter
- 30 ml Heavy cream
- 1 pinch Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Remove the unsalted butter from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature until soft but not melted, about 30 minutes.
Step 2: Cut the softened butter into small chunks and place them in a stand mixer bowl. If you don’t have a stand mixer, use a large mixing bowl and an electric hand mixer.
Step 3: Begin mixing the butter at low speed to break it up, then increase to medium-high speed. Whip the butter for 2-3 minutes until it becomes fluffy and pale in color.
Step 4: Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream while continuing to whip the butter. This process will help create an airy, whipped texture. Continue whipping for another 2 minutes.
Step 5: Taste the butter and, if desired, add a pinch of sea salt for flavor. Whip for another 30 seconds to combine.
Step 6: Transfer the whipped butter into a ramekin, jar, or serving dish. Cover it with plastic wrap or a lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Step 7: Allow the whipped butter to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to make it more spreadable.
