- No cooking is involved – you can make a butter board in just minutes.
Ingredients you need to make this recipe
- Butter
- Kosher salt
- Honey
- Chopped Walnuts
- Pomegranate arils (seeds), optional
- Chopped fresh mint leaves
- Cinnamon raisin bread or bagels, cut into pieces
How to make a dessert butter board for two
- Whip the butter until soft and fluffy; season to taste with kosher salt. The butter should be whipped enough so that it’s very easy to swirl and spread out.
- Plop the butter onto your favorite small charcuterie board or small platter; spread it out over the center of the board until it’s about 1/2-inch in thickness, then use the back of a spoon or spreader to swirl it about and make it look “fluffy” and pretty.
- Sprinkle with chopped walnuts, then drizzle with the warm honey; top with the pomegranate arils, fresh mint, and a light sprinkle of kosher salt over all.
- Serve at once with cinnamon raisin bread on the side.
Which tools are helpful for making butter boards?
Any type of cutting board, cheese board, charcuterie board, or platter will work for making a butter board. The size depends on the amount of ingredients you are using.
I have a small, elongated charcuterie board that works perfectly for making a small butter board for 2-3 friends.
My favorite board for charcuterie and butter boards is the one that my husband purchased for me – it’s a cool dark walnut board with a live edge that we found at at Amish store on our way to the Ozarks – I love it! It’s similar to this type.
I love my Bosch mixer! Making whipped butter takes like 30 seconds on low speed….not even kidding. (It’s so powerful I swear I could even use it for cement mix.) I also use my Bosch mixer on almost a weekly basis for making cinnamon rolls….and more cinnamon rolls…..and more cinnamon rolls!
For removing the whipped butter from the mixing bowl, use my all-time favorite kitchen tool: a silicone spatula. I have tons of silicone spatulas and spatula spoons in my kitchen in all different sizes – they work waaaaay better than a metal or wooden spoon, for sure.
You can use a spreader for fluffing and swirling the softened butter to make it look pretty, but I actually find a soup spoon to work pretty darn well, too.
Why are butter boards so popular?
Just like charcuterie boards, butter boards are fun and engaging – such a great way to entertain guests. And, like I said earlier in this post, tell me who in the world doesn’t adore bread and butter???
I think charcuterie boards (which are essentially glorified meat and cheese trays, right?) and butter boards take common ingredients and elevate them in an interactive way that makes guests feel super comfortable.
Are butter boards safe?
If you’re worried about everyone communally dipping their bread (and potentially their fingertips) into the butter board, simply lay out some small plates or dipping bowls with butter knives or spoons so guests can portion out what they want. This type of set up (using plates and serving utensils) also discourages double dipping.
