Homemade Cultured Butter (Easy!)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup refined coconut oil (melted, not hot)

• 1/4 cup refined olive oil (or other neutral oil)

• 1/4 cup unsweetened soy or Greek-style plant  yogurt (check out my other post for homemade Greek yogurt recipe, it works stellar!) 

• 1 tsp nutritional yeast

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions:

1. Blend the water phase first

   • Add yogurt, salt, apple cider vinegar, and nutritional yeast

   • Blend until completely smooth

2. Slowly emulsify the fats

   • With blender running, slowly drizzle in the oils

   • You’re forming an emulsion (same principle as mayo)

3. Blend 20–30 seconds longer

   • This improves stability and texture

4. Pour into mold

   • Chill for 2–3 hours minimum until fully set

Pro tips: if you want something that is going to be spreadable out of the fridge increase the olive oil.

If you want a firmer stick, increase the coconut oil.
