Thank you so much for keeping this page available to find!!!!! I’ve been making my own butter from my son’s Jersey cow’s raw milk since last summer. This week is the first time the cream would not turn into butter. I am going to get my cream out of the frig and leave it overnight. I am so hoping I’ll be able to have butter tomorrow!! Thanks again!!

Laura,

Heehee… glad I could help solve the mystery Hopefully you’ll have better luck next time. Try it in the blender though… it’s so much faster!

I know this article is a few years old, but I’m glad it’s still up. I had no idea why my fresh cream wouldn’t turn to butter. My whole family had been shaking it for hours. I will let it get to room temperature and try again. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks for this. I was having the same problem and couldn’t figure it out, so I searched on the Internet and it led me here. I put the cream in the microwave for a few seconds, and after 30 more seconds with the whisk, I had butter!

Thank you or this post! I am in the middle of using my Stand mixer and all I have is froth. I took the milk straight from the fridge and poured off the cream, so I’m letting it sit a bit now then I’ll try again. I’m so glad you had problems too so I could learn what I’m doing wrong! lol

Jeff,

Is the cream cold? I’ve found that if I leave it to room temp it turns much more quickly.
