- Place mixture inside the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour to firm.
- When ready to serve, slice the mixture into ½ inch pieces using a butter knife.

Notes
- Start with softened butter: Let your butter come to room temperature before mixing—it blends more smoothly and evenly with the other ingredients.
- Chill before slicing: After shaping the butter into a log, refrigerate it for at least one hour. This allows it to firm up so you can slice clean, even ½-inch rounds that melt beautifully over hot food.
- Wrap it tightly: Use plastic wrap to shape and secure the butter log. Wrapping it well helps it hold its form during chilling and makes slicing easier later.
