Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temperature
- 1/2 cup freeze dried raspberries
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare Raspberry Powder: Place the freeze dried raspberries into a blender and blend until a smooth powder forms. If you prefer a seed-free butter, sift the powder through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds, discarding them.
- Soften Butter: Using the back of a spoon, mash the room temperature butter until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring it is easy to mix.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the raspberry powder to the mashed butter and mix thoroughly until the raspberries are fully incorporated.
- Add Sweetness: Stir in the powdered sugar and mix again until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Let Butter Rest: Allow the raspberry butter to sit for at least one hour. This resting period enables the freeze dried raspberry powder to absorb moisture from the butter, enhancing the flavor and texture.
- Serve or Store: After resting, use the raspberry butter immediately or chill it until needed. It spreads beautifully when softened to room temperature before serving.
Notes
- For seed-free raspberry butter, sifting the raspberry powder is recommended.
- The butter should be at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing.
- Letting the butter sit allows the freeze dried raspberries to absorb moisture and deepen flavor.
- Store any leftover raspberry butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Bring to room temperature before serving for easy spreading.
