I served this Fluffy Honey Butter alongside the Pumpkin Cornbread I shared yesterday, and let me tell you—it was a match made in cozy, fall-inspired heaven. The recipe comes from My Kitchen Café, and what sets it apart is the addition of marshmallow crème, which gives the butter a light, whipped texture and a subtle sweetness that’s different from traditional honey butter. It’s a fun twist that adds a little extra indulgence to an already comforting spread.
The marshmallow crème adds a soft, pillowy sweetness that balances beautifully with the rich butter and golden honey. Paired with the warm spices and hearty texture of the pumpkin cornbread, it created a flavor combo that felt like autumn on a plate.

Instructions for Fluffy Honey Butter
Start by placing softened butter in a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter on medium speed for 2–3 minutes, until it’s light and airy. This step is key to getting that fluffy texture!
Next, add your honey and a pinch of salt (optional), and continue whipping for another 2–3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. You can also add a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra warmth and flavor. The result should be smooth, creamy, and beautifully whipped.
Serve at room temperature for easy spreading. You can refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container—just let it soften and re-whip before serving again.

Definitely! Fluffy honey butter freezes well for up to 3 months. Store in a freezer-safe container and thaw in the fridge before using. Re-whip if needed to restore texture.
