If you’re asking how to make butter in a Thermomix, it’s actually very straightforward—you basically over-whip cream until it separates into butterfat and buttermilk.
Using a Thermomix TM6 (or TM5 / TM31), here’s a reliable method:
🧈 Thermomix Butter Recipe
Ingredients:
500 g cold whipping cream (at least 35% fat)
Pinch of salt (optional)
Steps:
Insert butterfly whisk (optional but helps)
Not required, but it can speed up the whipping stage.
Whip the cream
Speed: 3.5–4
Time: ~2–4 minutes
Watch closely: it will go from whipped cream → grainy → suddenly split.
Butter separates
Once you see yellow clumps (butter) and liquid (buttermilk), stop the machine.
Strain
Pour mixture through the simmering basket or a fine sieve to separate butter from buttermilk.
Wash the butter (important step)
Put butter back in the bowl:
Add cold water
Mix 10–15 sec / speed 4
Drain
Repeat 2–3 times until water runs clear (this makes it last longer).
Add salt (optional)
Mix 5–10 sec / speed 3 if you want salted butter.
Shape and store
Form into a block or roll and refrigerate.
Tip
The fresher and higher-fat the cream, the better the yield.
The leftover buttermilk is great for pancakes, baking, or smoothies.
If you want, I can also show you flavoured Thermomix butters (garlic, herb, honey, etc.).
