Low Fat, Low Salt. soft Kefir / Butter Spread

[achookwoman]

Low fat, low salt , soft kefir /butter spread.
I have been looking for interesting ways to use my Kefir without destroying the good bugs. I mostly strain the Kefir and the result is very like sour cream. In this recipe I add the Strained kefir to good quality salted butter and mix in TMX to a soft spread. From now on this will be the spread of choice.

Ingredients
250 g of butter at room temperature.
150 g Kefir strained to the consistency of Sour cream.

Method
Place butter and Kefir in TMX Bowl and blend at speed 4, 45 degrees, 1 minute
Add butterfly and beat speed 4 , 45 degrees, for 1 minute or until creamy

Notes
Used as shown in photo it is very creamy.  When set up in fridge it is stiffer but still soft enough to spread easily.
I notice that some commercial Dairy soft spread has cream, water and Canola oil added.

CC, thanks for the link. I am wondering if you could do same with Greek yoghurt.

Greek yoghurt is something I do have in the fridge.

Cookie, I would give it a go. Because there is no added oil the softness once cold from the fridge is not smooth like oily cream but easily to scrape.

DH has an inherited cholesterol problem, but using the yoghurt would make less naughty fats in each teaspoon. I could certainly try some. I will get some butter when I do the shopping this week. DD used the last I had in a Adriano Zumbo cake she made yesterday.

I think that is a good idea as it reduces the butter to 2/3 reds. After being in the fridge for a few days it flakes off quite easily.  Not soft and creamy as when first processed.
