Ingredients
- CACIO E PEPE BUTTER:
- 1 cup Challenge Salted Butter, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 cup freshly grated pecorino romano
- 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- BLUEBERRY MUFFIN BUTTER:
- 1 cup Challenge Unsalted Butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of sea salt
- 2/3 cup freeze-dried blueberries
Method
- For the cacio e pepe butter, put the room-temperature salted butter, black pepper, pecorino romano and heavy cream in a mixing bowl and whip with a whisk attachment until soft and fluffy.
- For the blueberry muffin butter, cook the unsalted butter in a pan over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes until it bubbles and browns, then pour it into a bowl and chill it just until it resolidifies to a soft room-temperature consistency.
- Whip the browned butter with the brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon and sea salt until soft and fluffy, then mix in the freeze-dried blueberries until they break apart through the butter.
- Pack each butter into airtight jars and store them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze them for longer keeping.
