Method
Let the Butter Relax
- Take the butter out. Leave it at room temperature for a while.
- Hard butter doesn’t whip… it fights back.
- Soft butter? It behaves.
Whip the Butter
- Drop it into a mixing bowl.
- Turn on your hand mixer and beat it until it looks pale and fluffy.
- You’ll see it go from yellow-ish to creamy-white.
- If you’re whisking by hand… well… may the force be with you.
Sweeten It (But Not Too Much)
- Add:
- powdered sugar
- vanilla
- honey
- pinch of salt
- Mix again.
- You’ll feel the mixture getting smoother — almost glossy.
- Small tip: taste it. Adjust the sweetness.
- This is your recipe, not a school exam.
Add a Splash of Milk
- Just one tablespoon.
- It makes the butter lighter. Airy.
- Almost like a soft mousse.
- If you add too much milk, it’ll become runny.
- I learned that the hard way.
Divide Into Bowls
- Take a few small bowls and divide the butter.
- Now it’s time for the fun part.
Add Colors
- Use pastel colors — unicorn vibes depend on gentle tones.
- Pink
- Blue
- Lavender
- Yellow
- Mix each color lightly.
- Don’t overmix. Keep it soft.
Combine & Swirl
- This is the magical moment.
- Place spoonfuls of different colored butter in one big bowl — side by side.
- Then take a toothpick or knife and gently swirl them.
- Not too much.
- Just enough so it looks dreamy.
- If you go overboard, it’ll turn brownish… and nobody wants that.
Chill & Store
- Put the swirled butter in an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for half an hour.
- It becomes firm, glossy, and so satisfying to spread.
