Ingredients
- 1 cup butter at room temperature (I recommend a high quality, creamy butter, unsalted
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1.5 teaspoons cardamom
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg freshly ground is awesome here!
- ¼ teaspoon cloves ground
- pinch kosher salt
- blackstrap rum or your own favorite black rum, Cruzan® brand
- coffee very hot (I prefer a darker, full-bodied coffee for this recipe, brewed, your favorite
- cream or half & half
- cream for garnish, freshly whipped and sweetened
- cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- In a stand mixer on medium speed, cream together butter, sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, and salt for 3 minutes. Use immediately (while at its soft & fluffy best!) or store in a covered container in the refrigerator. If storing in the refrigerator, know that the spiced butter will harden - simply take it out of the fridge 30 minutes prior to serving.
- To create a cup of hot buttered rum coffee, place 2 tablespoons of spiced butter in a medium cup. Pour in 2 ounces of rum (use more or less, to your liking). Then pour in coffee to fill the cup. Stir to incorporate/melt the spiced butter. Add a splash of cream or half & half. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Hot buttered rum recipe adapted from The Reluctant Entertainer, where Sandy serves the spiced butter in the more traditional way, with hot water instead of coffee.
