Whipped Honey
Recipe Tips
- Whip at Room Temperature: Allow the honey to reach room temperature before whipping. Warmed honey is more pliable and easier to whip to a creamy consistency.
- Patience is Key: Whipping honey takes time. Be patient and don’t throw in the towel too soon. It will take a good 20-25 minutes to turn light and fluffy.
Whipped Honey Flavoring Ideas
If you want to enhance the whipped honey, below are some of my favorite flavoring ideas.
- Vanilla
- Cinnamon
- Lavender
- Ginger
- Citrus zest (lemon, orange)
- Nutmeg
- Mint
Storage
- Airtight Container: Store whipped honey in airtight containers to prevent exposure to air, which can cause it to crystallize or change in texture.
- Cool and Dark Place: Keep whipped honey in a cool, dark place. Exposure to heat and sunlight can alter the consistency and flavor of the honey.
- Refrigeration (Optional): While not necessary, some people prefer to refrigerate whipped honey to prolong its shelf life. However, refrigeration can cause honey to crystallize more quickly. I am a big fan of storing it in the fridge. It provides a unique texture and I love the cold temperature of the honey.
FAQs
This is honey that has been aerated to create a smooth, creamy consistency. It’s achieved by whipping honey at a controlled temperature until it becomes lighter and spreads easily.
Whipping crystallized honey is not recommended. Attempting to whip already crystallized honey may not result in the smooth, creamy consistency typical of whipped honey. However, if you want to return crystallized honey to a liquid state, you can do so by gently warming it. Place the crystallized honey jar in a bowl of warm water or microwave it in short intervals, stirring between each interval until the crystals dissolve. Once the honey returns to a liquid state, you can then try whipping it if desired.
Yes, whipped honey can crystallize over time, especially if refrigerated. This is a natural process and doesn’t necessarily affect the quality. To return it to a smoother consistency, gently warm the honey and rewhip if needed.
Whipped honey, if stored properly in an airtight container, can last for several months.
I made DIY gifts using an 80oz jar of honey, which is 5 pints. It took about 30-35 minutes. You can whip bigger amounts. It may just take longer.
Not always, but it certainly can. If it does occur, use a spoon and stir back together until combined.

Whipped Honey
Ingredients
- 2 cups honey
- FREE Whipped Honey Labels
Instructions
- Pour the honey into the mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip the honey on high speed for 20-25 minutes. If using an electric mixer, start on low speed to prevent splattering and increase gradually to high speed. As you whip, the honey will turn off-white and get a fluffy, airy texture, and become spreadable.
- Stop whipping and check the consistency. You can adjust the whipping time based on your preference. If you prefer a thicker consistency, whip for a longer time.
- Transfer the whipped honey to a clean, airtight jar or container. Store at room temperature for a runnier consistency or in the refrigerator for a thicker consistency. I always store mine in the fridge!
