Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Butter Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter with the heavy cream. If you are using unsalted butter, it's best to add salt to taste. Next, season with black pepper if desired.

Step 2

Whip Until Fluffy

Using a mixer, whip the combination on medium speed for about 2 to 3 minutes. You want it to become light and fluffy.

Make sure to blend thoroughly to incorporate all the flavors together.

Once your butter mixture is ready, serve it generously alongside fresh bread and caviar.

This delightful dip is perfect for a festive gathering, making every bite truly special!

Variations

🌱 *Gluten-Free & Vegan Variations*: To keep things gluten-free, swap out regular bread for gluten-free options, which can equally complement the creamy butter!
For a vegan twist, use plant-based butter. Simply follow the same whipping process with non-dairy cream or coconut cream to achieve that luscious texture. Feel free to add vanilla extract for an added layer of flavor—your tastebuds will thank you! 🥥
