Notes
Storing: The black garlic butter will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator, or freeze for later use. The easiest way to freeze black garlic butter is to scrape the butter into a log on a piece of parchment or plastic wrap, then roll up and twist the edges to tighten the wrapper around the butter tube. Freeze, then when you want to use the butter, just remove the tube from the freezer and slice off a chunk.
Expert Tip: If you don’t have a food processor, mash the black garlic cloves by hand in a small bowl. Then put the softened butter in a larger bowl and stir in the mashed garlic. The butter may not be as uniform as when you use a food processor, but it will be plenty delicious! Also, note that if your food processor is large, you will need to start and stop several times to push the butter down to the bottom. Use a mini food processor if you have one!
