Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 480 ml Heavy cream
- 60 g Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Pour the heavy cream into a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, or use a large mixing bowl and an electric hand mixer.
2. Start whipping the cream on medium speed. Gradually increase to high speed as the cream thickens.
3. Continue whipping the cream until it separates into butter solids and buttermilk. This will take approximately 8-10 minutes.
4. Strain the buttermilk from the butter solids using a fine sieve or cheesecloth, pressing gently to remove as much liquid as possible. Reserve the buttermilk for another use, if desired.
5. Transfer the butter solids to a mixing bowl. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
6. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to cream the butter with the sugar and vanilla until smooth and well combined.
7. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a bit more powdered sugar.
8. Transfer the sweet creamy butter to a storage container or roll it into a log using parchment paper. Chill for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up.
9. Serve spread on your favorite baked goods or as a topping for breakfast dishes. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
