Hello and welcome back if you're new here. I am Steph and today we are going
0:13
to make my homemade vegan butter recipe. I never actually thought I'd be making a
0:18
vegan butter recipe because in the US vegan butter is very easily accessible
0:23
It is not too expensive but I'm here in Taiwan now and it is really hard to find
0:30
to say the least. I have been able to find one brand of vegan butter but it is
0:35
in a tub form and it's about 17 US dollars per tub. So at that price I knew
0:40
I was gonna have to find a recipe that I could use for all my baked goods and so I
0:45
went to the internet I started testing recipes. There was nothing necessarily wrong with any of the recipes. All of them were pretty good but
0:53
some of them were you know better for spreading than for baking. There are some
0:58
that I tested that worked well in cakes but when I tried to make the
1:02
accompanying buttercream frosting it didn't hold up and I just wanted one
1:07
recipe that I can use in everything so I started making some tweaks testing some
1:12
things and this is the recipe I came up with. I have tested this vegan butter in
1:18
cakes, in frosting, in brownies, pie crusts, English muffins, a lot of different
1:24
recipes and it has worked every time. So I thought it's about time that I share
1:28
this recipe with everyone else. It is a very easy recipe so let's just get right
1:34
into it. Okay so I'm starting with a third of a cup of raw cashews here. These
1:40
have already been soaked to make them softer and I'm just gonna add these to
1:44
my blender along with a third of a cup of water to make a nice cashew cream
1:50
Depending on your blender it could take a few minutes to blend so don't stop
1:54
blending until everything is totally smooth. Next I'm just gonna measure out a
2:00
third of a cup of the cashew cream and then I will pop that in the freezer for
2:04
20 minutes or so to get it a little bit colder. This is gonna help later to keep
2:08
the oil and the water that's in the cashew cream from separating. Once it's
2:13
cool to the touch I will add it back to my blender along with all my other
2:17
ingredients. I've got a cup of refined coconut oil here that I melted on really
2:24
really low heat and then I allowed it to cool for a bit. Next I've got a quarter
2:29
cup of sunflower oil. This has also been chilled in the refrigerator. I am adding
2:35
a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, two teaspoons of vegan oil, less than
2:40
granules, and half a teaspoon of salt. And I'm just gonna let that blend up
2:46
until everything is well combined. You want to be careful not to let it blend
2:51
for too long because your blender can start to add some heat which can cause
2:55
your oil and water not to bind together or emulsify. If that does happen you can
3:01
just put your mixture in the freezer for 10 or 20 minutes and try again. So for my
3:05
molds I have these oblong silicone molds that I got at a baking supply
3:10
store and I'm just gonna pour my mixture right in. You could also use some small
3:16
food storage containers if that's more accessible to you but you might want to
3:20
line them with some parchment paper to make the butter easier to pull out later
3:24
And then I will just put these in the refrigerator for two to three hours or
3:29
until they're firm. And my butter is nice and firm now so I will just loosen up
3:34
the edges of my mold here and then pop it out onto my parchment paper. You could
3:40
keep this butter in the refrigerator for a week or two or you can keep it in the
3:44
freezer for a few months just wrap it up in some parchment and put it in a freezer
3:49
bag or storage container
4:03
And that's it! You can use this for baking and you can see that it spreads
4:08
really nicely too. Alright well that's gonna do it for this one but in my next
4:12
couple of videos I am gonna use this vegan butter to make some vegan butter
4:17
cream frosting and vanilla cupcakes so if you're a fan of cake I definitely
4:23
recommend you try these cupcakes. They're soft, they're moist, they are as delicious
4:28
if not more than any conventional cupcake I have had. But for today thank
4:33
you so much for being here with me and I can't wait to eat some cake with you
4:38
See you next time
