It's incredibly easy to make this whipped honey, and while you can easily flavor it with ingredients such as cinnamon or vanilla, you really only need one ingredient: honey, of course!
So what's the point of making this whipped/creamed honey? Well, first of all, it's a great way to improve the texture. Not only does the whipping process give the honey a thicker, creamy consistency, but it also breaks down sugar crystals, and the result is super smooth!

🍯 How To Make Whipped Honey
Step 1: Add honey to a mixing bowl along with cinnamon and almond extract, if using. Using an electric mixer, whip the honey at medium speed for 10-20 minutes or until the texture is thick and creamy.
Pro Tip: While a hand mixer will work just fine, a stand mixer would be even better.
Step 2: Pour honey into a mason jar or airtight container, using a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl. Store in the fridge for at least two weeks before transferring to the pantry.

🤷🏻♀️ FAQs
You do not need to refrigerate whipped honey, although you may want to because it will keep the honey from separating, as well as give it a thicker consistency.
Creamed honey is just honey that has been whipped with a mixer. If you make it using raw honey, the finished result is still raw honey, just in a whipped, creamy form.
Because of the perfectly smooth, silky texture of creamed honey, it's the perfect natural sweetener for baking. Try using it to make cakes, muffins, or any other baked goods you'd use liquid honey to sweeten.
👩🏻🍳 Pro Tips
- If using a stand mixer, you can use either the whisk attachment or the paddle attachment.
- Store in the refrigerator for at least two weeks before moving it back to the pantry, as this will keep it from separating.
- If you prefer a runnier consistency, let it sit out at room temperature before serving.
- Keeping it in a pantry or cool, dark place is totally fine after the first two weeks, and just like liquid honey, it won't spoil.
- Storing it somewhere warm can eventually cause it to return to a liquid state, or encourage the natural process of crystalization. No problem, just heat it and whip it again!

I'm looking forward to making this. Any suggestions on how to flavor w/ lemon, orange or anything else? Amounts?
Hilda Sterner says
Hi Cindy, I would try orange or lemon extract and start with 1/2 tsp and adjust to taste from there.
