Whipped Honey: A Simple Sweetness from Our Kitchen
If there’s one ingredient that never fails to bring a little magic into our kitchen, it’s honey—and whipped honey might just be our favorite way to enjoy it. Light, creamy, and perfectly spreadable, whipped honey takes something already special and turns it into an everyday staple you’ll reach for again and again.
Whipped honey is made using just honey, a pinch of salt, and a little patience. As it whips, the texture transforms from liquid gold into something soft and airy, almost like butter. The result is a smooth, spreadable honey that stays put on toast, melts beautifully into warm foods, and feels just a bit extra without being complicated.
This recipe is also a wonderful way to invite kids into the kitchen. There’s something mesmerizing about watching honey change as it whips, and little helpers love checking the texture and seeing it lighten before their eyes. It’s simple, hands-off once the mixer starts, and a great introduction to how ingredients can transform with time and care.
We love spreading whipped honey on warm bread, stirring it into oatmeal, or serving it alongside a cheese board for an easy, crowd-pleasing addition. It’s also lovely on biscuits, muffins, or anywhere you’d normally drizzle honey but want a little more control and creaminess.
At our farm, we’re always looking for ways to slow down and savor the sweetness in everyday moments. Whipped honey does exactly that—it turns an ordinary bite into something comforting and special. We hope this recipe becomes a favorite in your kitchen and adds a little extra beauty and sweetness to your table.
Whipped Honey
Time: 15 Minutes
Ingredients:
2 Cups Raw Honey
1 Teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
Step 1: Add the honey and 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt to the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer) fitted with a paddle attachment. The salt won’t dissolve right away—this is normal. Mix on low speed for about 30 seconds, then increase to medium-high and whip for 12–15 minutes, until the honey becomes lighter in color and noticeably thicker.
Step 2: Check the texture—it should be smooth, spreadable, and able to hold soft peaks, similar to buttercream. If the honey is still too runny, continue whipping for an additional 2–3 minutes. Spoon into clean glass jars, leaving a small amount of space at the top, as the honey may expand slightly as it sets.
