Description

This Homemade Raspberry Butter is a deliciously creamy spread made with real freeze-dried raspberries, butter, and a hint of powdered sugar. Perfect for breakfast or as a sweet topping on toast, muffins, or pancakes, this vibrant butter combines the natural tartness of raspberries with smooth sweetness for a delightful treat. It requires minimal ingredients and simple blending, with a resting time to let flavors meld beautifully.

Ingredients

Butter Base

  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temperature

Flavoring

  • 1/2 cup freeze dried raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Create Raspberry Powder: Place the freeze dried raspberries in a blender and blend until they become a fine, smooth powder. If you prefer a seed-free butter, sift the powder through a fine mesh strainer to remove any seeds and discard the seeds.
  2. Soften Butter: Using the back of a spoon, mash the room temperature butter until it becomes smooth and creamy; this will help with easy mixing.
  3. Combine Raspberries and Butter: Add the powdered raspberries to the mashed butter and mix thoroughly until the color and flavor are evenly incorporated throughout the butter.
  4. Add Sweetness: Stir in the powdered sugar and mix once again until everything is well combined, ensuring a balanced sweet and tart flavor.
  5. Rest for Flavor Development: Let the raspberry butter sit at room temperature for at least one hour. This rest allows the freeze dried raspberries to absorb some moisture from the butter, softening the texture and enhancing the flavor fusion.
  6. Serve or Store: After an hour, the butter is ready to use. You can serve it immediately or chill it until needed. Chilling will firm up the butter for easier spreading.

Notes

  • For a seed-free butter, make sure to sift the raspberry powder to remove seeds.
  • Letting the butter rest is crucial to allow moisture absorption for optimal texture and flavor.
  • This butter is delicious on toast, bagels, pancakes, or as a sweet addition to desserts.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
