The recipe is very simple, and it basically entails cooking several pounds of apples and some dates in a slow cooker for 10 hours on low heat.īy the time the 10 hours had passed, the apples were already a fairly mushy consistency, but there were still pieces of apple skin and dates within the mixture. Vitamix has a collection of recipes on its website, and I decided to make the Apple Date Butter (opens in new tab), which is designed to be made with an immersion blender. While I used the Vitamix Immersion Blender on a regular basis to make smoothies, I wanted to test it out with other recipes, as well. Vitamix Immersion Blender - Making Date Butter Plus, it was extremely convenient that I could simply cover the blending jar with its lid to store the leftover whipped cream in the fridge. It only took a minute or two for the cream to become stiff-it was faster than using my stand mixer and made less of a mess. I used the blender on its highest setting to whip the liquid, and I was surprised at how well it worked. I poured a cup of heavy cream into the blending jar, along with a few tablespoons of sugar. I also wanted to take the whisk attachment for a spin, so I decided to make some homemade whipped cream to put on brownies for dessert.
