So, ya’ know, I was just sitting at home this morning and decided to make homemade butter. No big deal.
For some of you making homemade butter may not be a big deal, but to me? Homemade butter = big deal.
I had no idea how easy butter was to make. Heavy whipping cream and if you desire, a dash of salt, an awesome Blendtec Blender and voila – butter!
The Blendtec Total Blender Classic Wildside blender is one powerful machine. It can handle the soft (but still very cool) jobs, like butter, but it can also tackle more strenuous jobs like ice crushing and fruit smoothie making. Milkshakes, salad dressings, nut butters and more… this machine is honestly more than I ever imagined I could get from a blender. It does it all so effortlessly, just like making butter.
My friends at Blendtec have offered to give away one Blendtec Total Classic Wildside Blender (ARV $454.95) plus Twister Jar (ARV $119) to one lucky Dine & Dish reader. I’m so excited to share this giveaway with you all because it is truly an incredible appliance. I know you’ll love it!
To enter the giveaway, I’m trying something new to make entering easier for you. See all the instructions below. Thanks for entering and sharing with your friends. Best of luck! Oh.. and see below the Rafflecopter giveaway info for instructions on how to easily make your own butter with Blendtec!
Homemade Butter
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream brought to room temperature
- 1 pinch Kosher salt
Instructions
- Add whipping cream to blender jar and secure lid.
- Turn blender on to speed 2 and run cycle for 45 seconds, then press "Pulse" to stop.
- Using a spatula, move whipped cream towards center of jar and secure lid. Press "Pulse" and hold down, 2-3 seconds, until whipped cream has stopped blending. Using a spatula, move contents towards center of jar. Repeat this step of pulsing, stirring and securing lid 10-12 times.
- Once buttermilk begins to separate from butter curds, press "Pulse" for 2-3 seconds until solid butter curds separate from buttermilk.
- Power blender off, remove lid and place a piece of cheesecloth over the lid. Over a bowl, slowly turn the blender jar over and allow liquid (buttermilk) to move through the cheesecloth into the bowl.
- Once the liquid is removed, scoop the butter from the cheesecloth and place in a mason jar or plastic container. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Note: You can also save the buttermilk for future use as well!

No bake nutella cheesecakes!! They are so yummy….
The first thing I’d make would be a smoothie (though, the fresh butter for some baking sounds awesome!)
When I was younger I went to an activity where we made homemade butter the old fashioned way… or an old fashioned way. We were each given a jar with whipping cream in it and we rolled it, shook it, etc for a while until we actually got butter. I think that is why I’m astounded that people don’t know that butter comes from cream – after all I made some when I was about 10!
I know – I feel rather dumb for not getting that!
I think it also helps I grew up in a farming community…
I just got my Blendtec last week and butter was the first thing I wrote on my list. I can’t wait to make it. Love it already!
I would have to break my Blendtec in with a smoothie! Hope, hope!
I would make either some kind of smoothie (been wanting to try one with kale) or something with the freshly pureed pumpkin I hope to have in a week or so.
I would whip up some creamy cauliflower soup. Now that fall is almost here i’ve been craving soups.
This first thing I would make is this butter- imagine being able to have your own butter and buttermilk whenver you needed it!
I don’t currently have a blender so I the first thing I would make would be a smoothie! I am always saving smoothie recipes for whenever I finally get a blender.
I would make milkshakes for my girls!

I’d love to give it a whirl and make my own butter. I’m envisioning basil butter, hot chili butter, honey butter and sun-dried tomato butter.

I have made homemade butter (the old fashioned way by churning) all throughout my childhood, but this blender makes it a snap. The possibilities of this blender are endless. I think would inaugurate it with margaritas then work on sauces, masalas, and chutneys.

1957, I remember when we made home made butter in 1st grade. My teacher brought to school a small glass butter churn. We all took turns turning the paddles. It was cold outside, so after it setup she poured the liquid off of it and set it out on the fire escape. Later in the afternoon, she got out a box of saltine crackers and brought in the cold butter. It was so delicious. Butter on saltines is still a favorite of mine!
I would make a smoothie!
I’d probably make a milkshake!
If I won, I would definitely make a green smoothie first thing!

I don’t currently own a blender and I need one so bad, I burned up the last one using it as a food processor, so then I bought a food processor but didn’t replace the blender. This looks like it would be perfect to make smoothies or fruit/vegetable purees.
If I win I want to put it to the test make thick and rich milk shake!
I would definitely make some smoothies and milkshakes!

Pesto… yum!

There have been a bunch of creamy soup recipies that I want to make, but I don’t have a blender that can handle the job. This would be perfect for those recipies!! And I love the idea of making butter this way. We made butter once when I was young and I would love to be able to make some for my children… we got fresh, non-pasturized milk from a neigbor’s dairy, skimmed the cream and made butter! YUMMMMM
A green smoothie! YUM. Great giveaway!
We love smoothies, crepes, and whole wheat pancakes made in the blender!
I’d also make some butter – I do it all the time in my mixer and I’d love to see if it’s any easier with a blender.

We made butter with the kids one night shaking jars and dancing around. It was fun, but we can’t do that all the time…this is a great idea! Oh, and use a cheesecloth, we just used my dish towels and they stunk and I had to wash them 3 times!
I would make cashew milk…I hear it is delicious!
Greetings Dine & Dish
Over 300 comments! I hope that you have an assistant.
I found you recently at Pinterest when I was looking for pumpkin recipes. Your Oatmeal Pumpkin Bundt Cake led me to your blog. I am in the middle of making the cake right now. I entered the Blendtec contest but the comment feature did not work. I would begin a smoothie cleanse to jump start my personal health project which I will be documenting at my blog HEALTH COACH. I would like to demonstrate what is possible at 52, primarily through basic health habits.
I want to thank you for your excellent blog and for the contest.
Warm Regards, Valerie
I’ve really been wanting to make my own nut butters for a very, very long time and I’ve read all good things about the Blendtec Blender so definitely an almond or cashew butter would be made first.
I would try making this butter!
I would make a huge batch of homemade salsa. And then I’d try out this butter, then maybe homemade peanut butter
A smoothie! My current (not so great) blender is in need of an upgrade and I love smoothies!
Oh goodness to make my own butter with my home made breads would heaven !! I would love this fun little toy ! Pick me oh pick me!!! thanks
Ice cream!
If I had the Blend Tec I would make your beautiful Pumpkin Milkshake…the very.first.day.
Thenfirst thing i would make if i won this blender is cream of asparagus soup
LOVE LOVE the idea of making my own butter!! Yours looks so fabulous… so much better than anything you can buy in the store 🙂 Definitely want to try this!
Milkshakes!
I would love to try this! And it would be great to use it for smoothies for our family of 6!
I would love this blender for my green smoothies. I like to put frozen banana in my kale smoothies, and my Kitchenaid blender makes a “chunky” not a “smoothie”.
i have always wanted to make homemade mayo, so i think that would be the first thing i would make in an awesome blender like this one
Hummus. Yum!
why, I would make Butter of course!
If I won I would so make this butter, nothing better then butter!
This looks like it would be a huge improvement to my current blender!
The first thing I’d make in this would probably be milkshakes!
Some nut milks or rice milks!
I read Gone Girl and loved it. I started reading Sharp Objects but it has yet to draw me in. It’s a little slow. I’m hoping it picks up the way Girl with the Dragon Tattoo did. The first 100 pages of that book were so boring but then it picked up and I couldn’t put it down. Since I gave up on SO I started reading The Boy in the Suitcase. It’s pretty good so far.
THIS BUTTER!! That is the first thing. Then your beautiful pumpkin milkshake. BTW, I LOVED this line.
“For some of you making homemade butter may not be a big deal, but to me? Homemade butter = big deal.”
Me too!
If I had a Blendtec, I would make butter! I LOVE real butter and fresh, homemade real butter would be heavenly!
I would definitely make frozen margaritas. My blender right now can’t handle ice!
Too many things to make since I shattered my glass blender top a few months ago and am missing my blender! Maybe some salsa or a smoothie?
My first thing would probably be a pumpkin pie smoothie 🙂

I read Gone Girl and loved it. I started reading Sharp Objects but it has yet to draw me in. It’s a little slow.
made this in1st grade many years ago! one old fashioned wooden clothes pin in a canning jar-add heavy cream-pass around the room..shake shake shake…viola..butter!
I started reading Sharp Objects but it has yet to draw me in. It’s a little slow. I’m hoping it picks up the way Girl with the Dragon Tattoo did.

Any idea how much butter this recipe yields?
Hi Amy – Great question! It makes about 1 full cup of fresh butter.
