Halfway through October and it’s pumpkin spice everything! And on TikTok and Instagram, it’s butter board everything. So why not combine the two? Boom. Pumpkin Spice Butter Board.
Salted Irish butter plus warmly spiced pumpkin equals a match made in heaven. And this board is pretty enough to serve at all of your fall and holiday gatherings, from Halloween all the way through to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Let’s get started!
What is a butter board?
By now, most of us have heard of the viral TikTok trend that is the butter board. It started simple – high quality butter, usually French or Irish, swirled onto a pretty cutting board and served with yummy breads and toasts.
Now, people are letting their creativity run wild. From sweet to savory, there’s a butter board for every occasion. Sometimes there isn’t even actual butter! I’ve seen cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, really anything you can smear.
What is pumpkin butter?
Pumpkin butter isn’t even butter at all. It’s a dairy free puree of pumpkin and lots of seasonal spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice. You can spread it onto toast or muffins, bake it into breads and doughnuts or stir it into cocktails.
This time of year, you can find pumpkin butter premade in most supermarkets. Making your own is also super easy. If you have 30 minutes, try my quick and easy recipe here.
For this Pumpkin Spice Butter Board, we are combining salted butter with pumpkin butter to create a creamy, dreamy spread.
