What is Creamed Honey? Before we roll up our sleeves, let's chat about creamed honey. Unlike liquid honey, creamed honey is thick, smooth, and spreadable – think of it as the peanut butter of the honey world! It's made by controlling honey crystallization, resulting in a delectably creamy texture that's perfect for baking.
