Cuisine American, French

Equipment

  • Vita-mix blender

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1-2 tbsp. Skyr plain probiotic yogurt

Instructions
 

  • Place cream into the Vitamix container and secure the lid
    Select Variable 1
    Press start and quickly increase the speed to HIGH
    Blend until mixture is thick and you hear a change in the sound of the machine. Sounds like the motor is running high.
    Stop machine and scrape down the sides of the container with a spatula to bring ingredients in the center of the container.
    Press start and blend for 5 seconds, stop and scrape sides again.
    Repeat this process many time until you see the mixture start to flow easier and fluid appears. (This may take up to 20-30 times of stopping and starting) Be Patient.
    Once the fluid starts to appear, you may add a tablespoon of Skyr probiotic yogurt. This creates a nice creamy blend to the butter.
    Blend for a few seconds more until solid butter starts to set up in center of the container on top of the blades.
    Pour out the excess liquid first and then add the butter to a fine strainer lined with coffee filters or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as you can
    Remove the butter to a bowl and add salt.
