Whipped Gingerbread Butter
Whipped Gingerbread Butter is unsalted butter that is mixed with molasses and warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, creating a sweet and festive spread. I like to think of it as spreading a little holiday magic (and taste) on my toast, pancakes and waffles, and other favorite treats!

Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and confectioners' sugar on medium speed until smooth and well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
- Increase mixer speed to high. Whip for 5-7 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed, until the mixture is light and airy.
- Add the molasses, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Mix on low until fully incorporated, about 1 more minute.
- Serve immediately on pastries, pancakes, or biscuits.
Shaping Whipped Gingerbread Butter Into A Log
- To make a log of compound butter, scoop the gingerbread butter onto a piece of plastic wrap. Roll the butter into a log shape, pressing and shaping as you go. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap together to secure the log, and refrigerate until firm (at least 2 hours or up to overnight).
