How to Make Homemade Butter In A Blender

  1. Pour 2 cups of heavy cream into your blender container and secure the lid.
  2. Blend on the lowest speed for about 1 minute, or until the cream starts to thicken slightly around the blades.
  3. With the blender running on low, slowly pour 1/4 cup of ice water through the lid opening. This helps the butter separate more effectively.
  4. Increase the blender speed to medium (about 4th lowest setting), and continue blending until the butter separates from the buttermilk, about 2-3 minutes. The butter will clump together.
  5. Carefully transfer the butter mixture to a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel. Let it drain for a few minutes to separate the butter from the buttermilk.
  6. Gently gather the butter and press out any excess buttermilk. Pack the butter into a butter mold, or shape it into small squares.
  7. Refrigerate the butter for at least 2 hours to firm up before serving.
