Social media platforms are flooded with pictures and videos of this honey version. So what exactly is whipped honey and how to eat it? Read on to learn it all.
What Is Whipped Honey?
This is simple. Whipped honey is your regular, liquid honey whipped using a hand or stand mixer. What changes? Whipped honey is light, creamy, airy, and luxurious. You can enjoy it as a spread, topping, or a regular sweetener, replacing sugar.

What Makes Whipped Honey Special?
Honey, even in its liquid form, is thick and sticky, which can make it difficult to use in general. When you whip it, the new creamier texture can be used more easily in your recipes. Plus, it transforms the honey’s texture from sticky to creamy. If you have honey stored at home starting to crystallize, it is best to whip it to get that smooth and creamy texture. After whipping, the colour also changes from brown-gold to almost off-white.
