Ingredients

  • 3,5 oz. 100 g soft butter
  • 4 Tbsp 40 ml cold espresso
  • 2 pods green cardamom, seeds only, freshly ground if you don't have cardamom whole pods, use 1 pinch of cardamom powder
  • 1 pinch mindfulness
  • 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 pinch sea salt or substitute with soy sauce like Fleur de Sel
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Make a strong Espresso and let it cool

  2. Whip the soft butter with the mixer for about 5 min.

  3. While you whip the butter, grind the cardamom seeds, take a deep breath and enjoy for a moment this wonderful deep aroma of these tiny black seeds.

  4. Grate the nutmeg 

  5. While still wiping the butter on low to medium speed slowly drip in the espresso

  6. Add sea salt or some drops of soy sauce, cardamom, freshly ground nutmeg and a good pinch of freshly ground black pepper to the Espresso-Butter. Adjust spiciness and salt to taste 

Recipe Notes

+ Keep the butter in a glass container or jar in the fridge but let it soften a bit before serving. It will easily keep fresh in the fridge for 2 weeks. 

++ You can let this spread softly melt on a warm toast or scone, put a dollop on white rice or hot pasta.
