The
BEST How to video I've seen so far. It's the proportion that is all over the place in recipes and videos. You are the ONLY one I have seen NAIL down what your proportions are. Also, made me willing to try whipping it. I dabble at baking so mixing shi... stuff is no big deal. Though my dog will be pissy when she cant lick the beaters lol. Well done!
That's awesome brother, glad you tried it and enjoyed it. I usually make one whipped and one non whipped when I make it. Love them both.
Thanks for going in-depth in the video, providing your process in writing, and really trying to help the bearded community. Your video was super helpful, and I look forward to making more whipped beard butter after this first batch.
Thanks for watching Scott, let me know how you like it.
Great work behind the video! Very interactive detailed in the safety and mentioning of the temperatures. Quite the vast collect of oils and butters as well!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it, it was fun to do and turned out better than I expected. Thanks for watching.
Super cool resource for people to have out there! I have zero interest in making my own products, mainly because of my obsessive personality lol I do not want to enjoy it. Same reason I have never tried drugs. You doing an amazing job breaking it down and man that beard is looking great!
Thanks Dan, much appreciated. It was fun and helped kill time while my wife and kids were away. I was surprised at how well it came out.
Compare drugs to making lotions???
Really enjoy you as a man making this. And very detailed! It enjoyed hearing you explain the piping bag and tip. Good job!
Thank you, I appreciate your watching and kind words.
I love the planning beforehand, the temperature control by utilizing a waterbath and the discussion. You're like a professional chemist!
Thank you so much, I'm happy you enjoyed it.
Love the video. Thanks for helping your bearded brothers out.Again great video.
Glad you found it useful Tony, thanks for watching.
Sir, you’re certainly an inspiration.

I didn't even know whipped beard butter was a thing. Great informative video. I've been making my own oils for a couple of years now but have wanted to make my own butter and just never got around to ordering the supplies. That just changed. Ordered mango and shae butter before I finished your video. Thanks again for your content.

So glad you enjoyed it Pietro! Try it out and let me know how it works for you. Thanks for watching.
i have done the same research on how to make my own beard butter, from watching youtube videos. i ordered a bunch of oils and butters. I know exactly what video you are talking about on adding arrow root powder, and im glad you cleared that up for me, because i was wondering lol! I have all the supplies ready to go in my closet and seeing your video pop up just helped me out tremendously!!! Thank you so much, as always, love your videos!
Thanks brother, glad I could help, I've learned so much on you tube, I fixed my dryer, my garage door, my whirlpool tub, etc.
Great vid, thank you! Looking forward to giving this a go.

Blazing Beards always! Well done and educational!
I've just tried your recipe and man! It's Awesome i just didnt whip it because i was in a hurry but next time i'll try it. My beard feel very hydrated all day long and smell incredible continue your great videos. Thanks bearded bro!
You're welcome, so glad it worked well for you. Thanks for watching.
What a video man! I was learning how to make solid colognes recently since growing my beard out the spray colognes contain alot of alcohol and would more than likely damage my beard. This Is an awesome DIY or how to video I am definitely going to try it out. I currently started using butters at night instead of balms and this seems like the most ideal way to go. Thank you for this again. New subscriber here
Thanks for subscribing Michael, happy you enjoyed the video and found it useful. I love this recipe as well, better than any others I've purchased for sure and a lot cheaper per ounce as well. Let me know how it works out for you brother. Andrew
Awesome video! Thanks!
Thanks for watching Eugene, let me know how it turns out for you if you decide to give it a go.
Thanks for the info. Only thing I have to say. Is so much was wasted. I’ll definitely try this recipe tho. Thank you sir
Impressive vids Andrew! Love the intro! With your gems of info I’m going to start to make my own oils & balms... I’m pumped.. You’ve acquired Brilliant Results!
When did u start making your Awesome vids.. For sure your going to get more subs! Keep Rocking it!!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it and will try making it. Started about a year ago, mostly beard product reviews, but I like to mix it up once in awhile. Thank you for watching!
LOL! I just finished making my first beard butter and happened upon your video right afterwards. Wish I had seen it before, I would have tried whipping it. My next batch will be. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this!
Oh, I subscribed, too!
Whip it, whip it good. Thanks for subscribing, appreciate it brother.
Just wanted to say thanks a lot for this video. I've just made my first batch of this butter & it turned out great. I made a couple of substitutions - instead of the Jamaican oil & anise, I used coconut oil & bergamot. I also left it unwhipped. Gonna try a nighttime batch with lavender & sweet marjoram. Nice one, thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it and added your own twist, that's the fun part of making your own. Thanks for watching.
Diving in soon... Way too hot now. Going to use Kokum and Illipe butter with BTSM 50. Probable some shea and mango... I can't decide on scents though. Bergamot & black pepper? Clary sage, morrocan lavender and orange? Man... that's the trick there. Mastering that scent
Excellent video!!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Nice job! I'm in the process of making my own butter and I'm somewhat flying blind. Your video was, by far, the most helpful
I'm glad it was useful, I really liked the way it turned out. Thanks for watching and subscribing, much appreciated.
How did your butter turn out? Still making it?
Thanks Brother for sharing your recipe. I’ve got to give it a try sense we are home bound due to Virus.
Great idea, let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the really detailed video im about to start making balms and butters for my husband hopefully save a few bucks in the long run!
That's awesome, Let me know how it works out for you. Thanks for watching. Check out my videos on making balm and oil too.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 i will check them out for sure!
Great info and awesome descriptive video.
Glad you enjoyed it, if you try it, let me know how you like it. Thanks for watching!
I will definitely try it thanks so much
I've been wanting to make my own beard butter for a few months now and couldn't find any good instructions or tutorials. This is extremely helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to make this video and share your recipe. Also you look like Buck Dharma from Blue Oyster Cult, if he had a full beard. Thanks!
I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching.
For those keeping score it’s
7T (3.5 oz) of Butters
(3T Mango Butter, 1T Tacoma butter, 3T Shea Butter)
15ml (.5oz)Carrier Oils
5% (6ml) (120 drops) (.2oz) Essential Oils
(.2 cedar wood oil, 1.5ml frankincense oil, 1ml lemon oil, .75ml cinnamon bark oil, .5 eucalyptus, .25 ml adese oil)
Thanks for watching, the detailed instructions are attached in the video description already.
Thank you for putting out the information and quality video
Very nice tutorial
Thanks for watching.
Awesome video...thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 You are so welcome!
Hello cheers for this guide , I've made a few butters and now this one. Previously I found recipes which are almost 2-3 parts butters to 3 parts oil but found this could be costly. So looking forward to trying this . Thanks
Thanks for watching, I think you'll enjoy this one, let me know how it works out for you.
you just helped me figure out why my butter was so grainy for my first tryout
Glad I could help, thanks for watching.
Adding this to my candle business
Fantastic, hope you sell tons.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 This was amazing. I want to create a Seamoss Oil. What do you think? I have worked on it forever.
@@Adasdream I don't really know anything about Sea Moss. If oil can be extracted without sea water contaminating it, I would think it would be ok.
Great how to video from Blazing Beard. Pretty much the same process we use and he is very correct about watching your temperatures. High temps can ruin a batch of quality butters. My only tip would be to melt, mix, and whip in one container that way you don't lose so much product in container transfer. Other than that it was a "Blazing" video. Keep up the great work brother!
Thanks brother, appreciate you watching, it was fun!
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 Enjoyed it man! Wont be long and Texas could have a blazing beard company.👊👊🔥🔥🔥
@UCyynM5CtJ2B_6nISBd6d3WA No plans to go in that direction, just fun for me, but it did turn out great.
I love this video, and appreciate that you've included the recipe and instructions. I'm only 6 weeks into growing my beard for the first time. I recently made my own beard oil and it smelled great. Once I buy the ingredients for this recipe I'm definitely going to try this out. Keep up the good work, and thanks!
That's awesome Ryan, it's fun making your own products. Thanks for watching. If you pick up some beeswax too, you can make beard balm too. I have a video on that as well. Enjoy!
great video cant wait to try it
Thanks for the compliment Paul, I think you'll love this butter. Let me know how it turns out for you.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 I will let you know how it turns out Thanks for the video Awesome job
great recipe
Thanks man, glad you liked it.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Ive just made my first batch of beard oil ( its an oud/tobacco/vanilla/amber ) its really nice. Now i can try and make a butter to match!!! Thanks for the video and love the beard
That scent profile sound awesome, you'll need a matching balm and butter for sure. Glad you found the video useful. Thanks for watching and the feedback.
Mind sharing your oil recipe? Along with if you would adjust anything next time? That scent mix sounds like it's something I would like too!
@@screaminggoat7111 Hit the show more button under the video, there the entire recipe is listed for both the butter and the scent. No I wouldn't change anything, I made several iterations before landing on this recipe. Try it, you'll like it.
@@screaminggoat7111 My oil recipe is on my how to make beard oil video too.
Nice kitchen, keep it up.
Thanks for watching, hope you like the butter too.
I'm making this tonight 😊
That's great, let me know how it turns out.
Just tripped over your channel. Love it. Maybe you can give me some beard tips, or maybe , I don't know if you have already or not, but mixing beard oils or scents ? Even if you don't, you have a new fan.
Thanks for the kind words Joseph, much appreciated. I do have videos for making beard oil and beard balm as well. Thanks for watching!
" Just whip it, whip it good." I wish I could grow a blazing beard but I have to remain beardless working in chemical and petroleum plants. I'm a beekeeper and have started making beard products for my son with beeswax. I also make a wood utensil rejuvenating paste for spoons, bowls, cutting boards that also works well on leather work shoes/boots to waterproof them. Most of the products used in beard products I also use in lip balm. I will definitely give this a try.
Thanks for watching, too bad about not being able to grow your beard out but I think it's awesome that you make products using your own beeswax. You may want to watch my how to make beard balm video too and put that wax to good use. Let me know what you think after you try my recipes, I think you'll enjoy them.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching.
Great job man , i hope you make a video for beard wash also 😃
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. I won't be making my own beard wash. Too difficult and expensive to make in small batches. Try Beard Guyz 2 in 1 Wash & Tame. It's my favorite beard wash and it's only about $8 for 6.7 oz. Most Walmart's carry it. Does a great job cleaning and will make your beard super soft and tangle free.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 actually here in Egypt it is hard and expensive to get beard products from abroad and there is no beard products company that do such products in Egypt for that i am doing my own beard grooming products and thanks to you it came out very good and i am extremely happy with the results i am getting, thanks a lot bro i hope your channel get more bigger to allow all bearded men to learn from you ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Hi there I love your video, its so simple and well explained. I have a question.. is it ok if I dont use any oils? so I was thinking of just using shea butter, cocoa butter, mango butter and beeswax
Yes, of course you can use whatever ingredients you choose, but without the oils it will be very thick and pasty and hard to melt down, adding beeswax will make it more of a beard balm. IMO butters should not contain beeswax, although many do. Thanks for watching, I hope it turns out well for you.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 thank you so much for the input
thx 4 sharing
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.
Hello! Great video!! How many different carrier oils can I mix together?
Hi Candice, Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The number of carrier oils is personal preference, however be sure to stay within the total ratio for carrier oils, butters, and essential oils. In my recipe it would be 15ml of carrier oils, 105 ml of butters, and 6 ml of essential oils. I hope that helps.
Awsome
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great video. What’s your recipe for a non whipped 2 oz beard butter. Thank you 😊
Hi Mike, the recipe is exactly the same, just don't whip it. Works great either way. Thanks for watching.
My new medication must be working because I thought for sure you was holding a cupcake in the thumbnail haha
Than I read the title and was like oh even better
Haha
Great video by the way!
I thought it looked like that too, at the end of the video I say it's like a cupcake for your beard, lol. Need to see some Lilly and Dan soon.
You forgot to hit the like button, lol, I thought you were my bud.
Blazing Beards haha I wrote that before the video started and I laughed when I heard you say it around the 22min mark haha
You know I failed at making oil and balm imo haha but I’m deff gonna have to try and fail on making some butter haha I butter not but I’m going to haha and it’ll be butter than when I made oil and balm lol
Hope all is well Andrew! Lilly says what’s up my dude!
@@cloud_monkey422 tell Lilly I said "what's up dog"
Blazing Beards lol I like it! I will! Haha
are the scent oils neccesary for the base recipe? I'm planning on combining this with my bossman stage coach jelly and dont want to combine too many crazy scents. Awesome video and thanks!
No, you can use whatever scent oils you'd like. I love Bossmab stagecoach scent. You may want to reduce the amount if carrier oil and replace it with your bossman oil so the overall ratio of oils to butter is the same. Otherwise the scent would be diluted because the stagecoach scent is already mixed with carriers. Good luck, let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 thanks BB!
Good vid. Use a spatula next time. Metals in oil can create reactions.
Thank for the tip and thanks for watching!
Lol got ME excited too
Thanks
You're welcome, thank you for watching.
When filling your piping bag, roll it down before putting your product in it.
Much easier to get it in the bottom of the bag rather than all over the top side of the bag.
Good advice, that was the 1st time I ever used one. I just found it in the pantry, lol. Thanks for watching.
I make 2 oz of beard butter at a time as I need it by using 3 tablespoons of shea butter and 1 tablespoon of carrier oil and it works fantastic!! How many drops of essential oil would be appropriate for this much butter? Planning on using lemon EO. Thanks
Roughly 60 drops, but if it's for yourself and not for sale, you are free to make it as strong or weak as you like. Lemon is a citrus and the scent will dissipate quickly at standard ratios. I'd start at 60 drops, and increase from there. If you go higher you may also want to reduce the carrier oil so as to maintain the consistency of the balm. Hope that helps.
Do you think this would turn out okay if I only used Seeet Almond and Jojoba carrier oils? Do the other carrier oils make it a better overall product?
Thanks and great video and recipe.
Hi Kaleb, I think it would be fine. Just keep the total oil to butter ratio the same. I use the oils I selected because I like their properties and feel. Thanks for watching, let me know how it turns out. Andrew
Blazing Beards I ended up getting the other carrier oils but went with a sandalwood and tobacco/vanilla essential oil blend with a little bit of black pepper added in.
I had as much fun whipping up the beard butter as you did and was absolutely thrilled with how this turned out.
I hope to make up your recipe as I start collecting buying those essential oils I don’t currently have.
Do you have any plans on coming up with any other combination of scents for the future? Thank you so much for putting this video up. It gave me all the tools needed to not only make whipped beard butter but make it turn out better than I could have ever imagined!!
@@kalebrutherford1637 Glad to hear it Kaleb. It is a lot of fun whipping up your own. I don't currently have plans to do more scents, but I'll be sure to post it if I do.
When you use pots and mixing bowls, are they now only for beard oils and such or can you continue to use them in the kitchen. I know that what is you say is not concrete, just in your opinion what do you think or do.
Hi, thanks for watching. The pots never touch the oils or butters. Water is in the pot, then a pyrex/glass with the butters is put in a measuring cup which is then put in the boiling water to melt. So yes I still use the pots for cooking. I put the measuring cup in the dishwasher and still use that as well.
I’m looking into making my own butter as I have some scent ideas and I have to avoid almond oil due to an allergy. Why are the oils considered carrier oils and what is the purpose? I love the consistency of Detroit Grooming butter and want to try and replicate it. I’m thinking of using Shea butter. I’m not sure what other butter to use. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Katz, carrier oils are used to provide healthy nutrients to your skin and hair. They are also used to dilute essential oils that are too strong to use by themselves. In butters, they are used to soften the butter. I personally like a combination of Shea and Mango butters.
Blazing Beards Great! Gonna give it a shot.
Your butters were nice and clear once melted, I wonder if I did something wrong as mine was cloudy 😞 I still went on with the rest of the steps and I'm now waiting for it to solidify in the fridge 😁
Hi Tomasz. Yes, your finished product should melt clear. Cloudiness can be caused by poor quality butters or using too much heat during the melting process or by adding your essential oils when the butters are still too hot. Test your butters by taking a small amount without heating and melt it in your hands. If it's clear your butter is OK. Make sure you use the double boiler method to melt the butters (Don't melt directly in pot as this could scorch and result in cloudy butter). Watch them closely and stir occasionally. When they are about 95% melted remove them from the heat, they will melt the rest of the way on their own (Stir). Let the melted butters sit for about 20-30 minutes before adding your carrier and essential oils, stir thoroughly to ensure they are well integrated. Most essential oils have a low flash point, if added in too soon, they will look cloudy when added. Make sure all your utensils are very clean and rinsed really well, soap residue can also make butter cloudy. I hope his helps.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 thank you for the detailed reply, I think I may have added the other butters too soon but I'll wait and see what happens after it sets in the fridge. Maybe it's not all lost 😊 I do remember that the melted butters were barely warm to touch when I was adding the oils as I was very cautious with the temperature, maybe my spoon was dirty...
If it fails I can learn from it and go buy some chemically safe stirring tools and containers
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 so I whipped the butter anyway. It came out great, the scent is there, it didn't evaporate so I assume that my butters were either not of the best quality or they didnt melt completely. What shocked me is how much it expanded after whipping, I've prepared jars for ~180ml and had to go and grab another 30ml jar to get the leftover bit there.
The biggest issue I encountered was the "piping" part as it was melting quite quick, had to refrigerate the bag a couple of times. But, 10/10 will do it again and again. Thank you for the video!
@@Tomasz.Nowakowski So glad it worked out for you, you now have the best butter on the planet. Enjoy!
Would you be able to use a hand blender instead of a mixer for this consistency?
Hi Fatima, I'm not sure, I never tried as i don't have one. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Give it a try and let me know. Thanks for watching.
Thank u
You're welcome, enjoy!
i know that one can tinker with this and it will turn out allright. i've watched and read many recipes and it's basically melting butters and mixing with oils, so one can play. personally, i don't want to whip my butters but, what i want to know, is there a benefit to the whipping portion. does this just basically make it lighter and easier to apply?
I don't believe there is any performance benefit, although many people prefer the texture and find it feels more luxurious when applying.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 i take it back. i want to whip my butter. lol. thx!
I can make it unscented right ? I like it unscented at night when i go to bed ... Just melt the butters and oils / Freeze and skip the fragrance oil part .. right ..
Yes, of course, the scent is optional.
Will keeping it refrigerated make it more solid or will it maintain its same whipped consistency?
Hi Jeremy, it will make it more solid, if you want it creamier let it set either less time in the fridge or in a cool place.
Can I use reg Castor as opposed to black Jamaican castor?
Hi Lacy, yes you can substitute oils.
Just an off topic curiosity; Have you, or how often, do you shave it all off and restart growing your beard? My wife hates it, but I get bored every couple to few years and restart just because.
I don't shave it, I'll trim it down to 5-6 inches occassionally.
Hey, where do you buy your products to make all this stuff? I would love to be able to make this stuff but don’t know where to buy all the ingredients and save money doing it.
I bought it at several places, the largest place was from camdengrey.com. Some from Target, Walmart, Kroger, and Walgreens. You can find all of the items on Amazon as well.
Thanks! I really appreciate you replying back to me.
@@Rocknkrizz I do my best to reply to all comments and questions. The purpose of my channel is to inform and assist my bearded brothers. Happy to answer any questions you have.
Are the butters measured by weight or volume when you're talking about ounces?
By volume, I measured with tablespoons, where 2 US tablespoons equal 1 oz.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 great, thank you!
Do you leave it in the fridge in the jar without the top
I put it in the fridge without the top, but if you are worried about spilling, put the top on, it should not make any difference other than it might take a little longer to cool and get to its semi solid state before whipping. Thanks for watching, I hope it turns out well for you.
I'd love to use your affiliate links for purchasing ingredients if you have any. I can't wait to make this for hubs. Where do you get your Jamaican Black Castor oil?
Most of my ingredients I get from Camden Grey, but the Jamaican Black Castor I got from Amazon. You'll want to make sure all your oils are cold pressed and hexane free.

@@blazingbeardproducts2845 Awesome thanks so much for the Castor Oil link. Never heard of Camden Grey. I'll look them up.
Has it ever happened to you where your beard butter melt because of the heat?
Yes, I took some on a trip in my car and it melted when I left it in the trunk. Most beard butters will melt at about 95-100 degrees farenheight. Put it in a cool place and it will re-solidify. If it's whipped it will loose its consistency but it will still work fine.
Does this need to stay in the refrigerator since there is no beeswax or lanolin?
No refrigeration required. Oil based with high vitamin e content and oils used have shelf life of 12-18 months. Store in a dry dark place if possible our of direct sunlight and it should be fine.
If I were to do this recipe by ounces is it ounces in weight or in volume like liquid ounces?
I used liquid ounces for this recipe. Thanks for watching!
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 thank you!
@@blazingbeardproducts2845Thanks for clarifying. My 1st couple forays into mixing my own I nerded out and looked up/converted everything to SpGr and tried keeping notes on ingredients by weight. Probably not worth the time to worry about that way. Haha
How does this compare financially to just buying from a company? Any savings or is this just to say you can make your own?
Per ounce, this is significantly cheaper, although the drawback is you need to buy the materials in larger quantities which can be expensive. I think I spent about 150 for the ingredients but it made many batches of oils, butters, and balms, average about $3 an ounce.
Hi Andrew! My bearded husband's name is also Andrew! I made the balm before Christmas and he loved it! Now I must make this. Question: how much tucuma butter did you add to the recipe? I don't see it in the description (unless I overlooked it). Thanks!
Hi Kim, the total butter ratio remained the same, I just received a small sample, maybe a teaspoon that I threw in, in place of some mango. Glad you're enjoying the recipes. Thanks for watching.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 Awesome! I just ordered some tucuma because it's good for hair on the head too. I'll play around with it in the beard butter when I receive it. Thanks again!
Do you use refined sheabutter or unrefined ? I used unrefined and made a 25% try out batch, but even with 'a gallon' scented oil, the smell of the sheabutter is like a rotting cadaver😂
Thanks for watching, I used unrefined but I did not have that problem, you may have had a contaminated batch of Shea Butter. It should have a slightly nutty aroma, but it was unnoticeable in my final product. Refined Shea Butter will work fine as well. Hope your next batch turns out better.
How do I find the recipe for this
Hit the down arrow under the video, the recipe and instructions are attached. Thanks for watching.
Well done, thank you. This rabid raccoon on my face can't wait to try this out. 😉🤣
Thanks for watching, I think it will tame the beast, lol.
Can you make a beard butter using tallow?
I suppose you could although I think there are better options.
I've got plenty of it from briskets I cook and want to put it to some use
Try it out, just don't be surprised when all the dogs in the neighborhood follow you around, lol.
Would a simple recipe for beard butter if 1 oz shea butter, 1 oz carrier oil and 1 teaspoon of beeswax work well?
Personally, I'd skip the beeswax, and use 1 1/2 oz. shea butter an 1/2 ounce of carrier oil. Scent as desired.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 ok and that will give me 2 oz of butter?
@@RichardNorby420 less whatever sticks to your mixing receptacle. But yes.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 I added more wax to my beard wax I made and it came out great and I made some butter today with 1.5 oz shea butter and .5 oz almond oil. Came out great but will use before bed.
Would pure lanolin be a good thing to add to beard butter?
Lanolin can be used although I would use it sparingly as it can be greasy if too much is used.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 ok and liquid or jelly better?
@RichardNorby420 liquid lanolin is more processed than the natural wax/gel. I would prefer the gel.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 ok and if I were to add some to my homemade beard butter how much would I add? My normal recipe i use is 3 tablespoons of shea butter and 1 tablespoon of carrier oil.
@RichardNorby420 I don't know as I've never tried it. I would start with 1/2 tablespoon and add more if needed.
think i started whipping to early. it was nice but too soft i put it in the freezer again and whipped it again.
Thanks for watching, yes, the longer you leave it in the fridge, the firmer it will be, even when it comes back to room temp.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845tip for people. you don't need anything special for getting it in the jars.. a clear freeze bag wrap it up tightly and cut a hole at the tip and squeeze.
Has anyone made this without whipping it. Just as a poured?
Yes, just as good poured. Thanks for watching.
@@blazingbeardproducts2845 awesome. Thank you for the reply.
