For making truffle butter recipes, I recommend using a high-quality butter. Using unsalted butter will allow you to add salt to your liking, though you can also use salted butter.
How to Make Truffle Butter
Black Truffle Butter Recipe Tips
If the butter isn’t quite soft enough, microwave it with the truffle for about 10-15 seconds. The oil from the truffle will aid in the mixing of the butter.This is a great recipe to add to many dishes such as steaks, pasta, and even as a dipping sauce for seafood.High-quality butter brings so much more to the table than cheaper options - most of which aren’t even real butter! Use high-quality butter for this recipe.If you allow your butter to sit in the fridge for about a day, the flavors really meld together and it’s truly at its best.Store in the fridge, in a sealed container, for up to 2 weeks.
What does Black Truffle Butter Taste Like?
Black truffles have a naturally earthy and nutty taste, occasionally with notes of garlic. Mixing black truffle pate into butter to create a truffle butter recipe gives the butter those same tasting notes, creating a creamy and richly flavorful earthy butter. It takes a regular steak experience to an over-the-top umami experience! Once you try it, you will be hooked.
Can I use truffle oil to make truffle butter?
Although you can use truffle oil to make truffle butter, real truffle pate will provide much more richly flavorful, creamy butter and more consistent results than truffle oil. If you decide to use oil, use very little to start with and taste after mixing, as the oil is concentrated and will be strong.
