In the video, you can see the middle and end result right at the 10-14 second mark. The rest of the video goes through the steps needed to get to the end result.
The truffle butter can be used for many different dishes so make sure that when you make it you make some extra for another meal or two.
We’d skip the oven part and put it in the smoker at 350 degrees for a couple of hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees.
