Why You Should Try This Recipe
You can find a lot of recipes for great honey-butters online, but this one is truly one-of-a-kind. There may only be three ingredients, but the combination is so uniquely delicious you’ll want to keep plenty of it in your fridge so you’ll always have some on hand.

Honey Butter Ingredients
For this whipped honey butter recipe, you’ll need:
- Butter
- Honey
- Sweetened Condensed Milk
You want to use good full-fat salted butter here. The richness of the fat and the salt keep the whipped honey butter from getting too cloying. Use unsalted butter only if you are on a low-sodium diet or want to control the amount of salt in the butter (use a pinch of sea salt).
How to Make Whipped Honey Butter
To prepare this sweet spread:
- Take the butter out of the fridge and allow it to soften.
- Put the softened butter, sweetened condensed milk, and honey into the bowl of a food processor. If you prefer, you can use a blender or hand mixer and mixing bowl instead.
- Pulse the butter mixture several times until the ingredients combine thoroughly, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Then blend for a few seconds until the honey butter becomes airy and has a light cream color.
- Use a rubber spatula to scrape the honey butter mixture to a container.
- Cover and store it in the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can use a cookie scoop or a mold to shape the honey butter. Place the shaped butter on a wax paper-lined baking tray and refrigerate until it sets. Transfer the butter to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge.
- Let the butter sit out at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
What to Serve With Honey Butter Spread
Indulge your taste buds by spreading a hearty layer of honey butter over warm dinner rolls, flakey biscuits, or golden cornbread. Don’t forget that honey butter tastes lovely on top of a stack of fluffy pancakes, crunchy waffles, toast, or banana bread, or add a pat to your cream of wheat for an exceptional breakfast treat.

How to Store Honey Butter Spread
