What is special about whipped honey?

Whipped honey stands out because of its smooth, airy texture, thanks to controlled crystallization. This creates a soft, scoopable spread that’s both comforting and elegant.

How do you make whipped honey?

To make whipped honey: warm raw honey gently, stir in seed crystals of whipped honey, whip until creamy, and let it set in jars at room temperature until smooth and spreadable.

What happens if I whip honey?

When you whip honey, you’re guiding its crystallization creating tiny sugar crystals that turn runny honey into a creamy, stable form without losing any natural enzymes or sweetness.

What's the difference between spun honey and whipped honey?

There’s no difference “spun,” “creamed,” and “whipped” honey are just different names for the same soft, spreadable honey that’s been gently crystallized.

Instructions

Gently warm the honey: Place raw honey in a heat-safe bowl set over a warm (not boiling) water bath, maintaining around 95°F. Stir gently just until liquid.
Add seed crystals: Mix in 2 tablespoons of whipped honey to introduce fine crystals—this is what gives it that silky spread.
Whip with care: Using a wooden spoon or a stand mixer on low, gently beat for about 5 minutes. Aim for a light, creamy texture that doubles in volume.
Jar the honey: Spoon into clean glass jars, seal, and store at cool room temperature (around 60–70°F). Refrigeration isn’t needed.
Let it set: Allow the whipped honey to sit undisturbed for 24 hours—this completes crystallization to perfect creaminess.

Notes

Avoid using crystallized honey, it won’t whip properly.

You can use an electric hand mixer if you don’t have a stand mixer; just add a couple extra minutes.

Try stirring in cinnamon or vanilla bean paste for flavor variations.
