Como fazer Easy Homemade Butter

Pour 2 cups of heavy cream into a large bowl.
Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand), beat the cream on medium-high speed. You'll initially see soft peaks form, then the cream will thicken.
Continue beating. The cream will begin to separate into butter and buttermilk. This process takes time and patience; keep beating!
Once the butter has mostly separated from the buttermilk (about 10-15 minutes of beating), you can stop the mixer and drain off the buttermilk using a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
Place the butter in a bowl of ice water for a few minutes to cool and firm up.
Gently knead the butter in the ice water to remove any remaining buttermilk. This will improve the texture and taste of your butter.
Once the butter is firm and smooth, shape it into a log or pat it flat. You can add salt or herbs to your butter at this point for extra flavor.
Wrap the butter tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
