Truffle Butter Recipe
Description
This Truffle Butter recipe starts by whipping softened unsalted butter until light and fluffy, creating a smooth base. Finely chopped black truffle peelings and white truffle oil are then incorporated to infuse intense earthy and musky truffle aromas throughout the butter. Freshly sliced chives add a mild onion-like brightness, while salt and black pepper season it to taste.
The butter can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to seven days or frozen for up to six months. It can be served directly from the freezer and pairs well with various dishes that benefit from the rich, umami depth that truffles provide.
Additional tips include enhancing the flavor with acids like citrus juice or vinegar and substituting other herbs such as parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, chervil, or rosemary according to preference. Using olive oil-based truffle oil is recommended for best flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 pound unsalted butter softened
- 2 tablespoons black truffle finely chopped peelings

Notes
