Whipped Honey
Whipped honey is a light, fluffy twist on regular honey, made by whipping in air. Its creamy texture and delightful sweetness make it a perfect spread or topping for toast, pancakes, waffles, muffins or fruit. Plus, you can package it in a jar for a lovely DIY gift, and we even include free labels!
Servings: 2 cups
Equipment
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!
Notes
-
- Whipping More Than 2 Cups: 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.
- Separation: If separation occurs, simply stir together with a spoon to combine.
- 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.
- Airtight Container: Store whipped honey in airtight containers to prevent exposure to air, which can cause it to crystallize or change in texture.
- 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.
- 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.
