Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Butter: Ensure the unsalted butter is at room temperature so it is soft and easy to blend. This is key to achieving a smooth, creamy texture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together ground cinnamon, powdered sugar, and salt to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the spread.
- Blend in Butter and Vanilla: Add the softened butter and vanilla extract to the bowl, then use a hand mixer or sturdy spoon to combine everything until fluffy and well incorporated.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the spread and add more cinnamon or sugar if you prefer a stronger spice or sweeter spread. Mix again to blend any additions.
- Chill for Best Texture: Place the spread in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up slightly, making it easier to spread and helping flavors meld.
Notes
- Use softened butter completely to avoid lumps and ensure smooth mixing.
- Freshly ground cinnamon provides the most aromatic spice flavor.
- Add powdered sugar gradually, tasting as you go to achieve your desired sweetness.
- Beat the spread long enough until airy to lift texture and flavor uniformity.
- Store in an airtight container to keep fresh and prevent fridge odor absorption.
