Can heavy whipping cream be 'over mixed'? I used a Nutnribullet, and in the process of smacking it around trying to get it to blend, my mix of very soft butter turned back to liquid form. It is not as thick as it was in the beginning, either. Can this be re-mixed to try again? Or should I make treats for the dog w/it? Hate to waste, but if I can do nothing w/it.

sounds like you may have melted the butter.

a blender is not imho an appropriate tool to churn butter. that said,,,,

did you get a separation of butter and a watery liquid (aka buttermlk?)
once the butter fat has lumped up and you have a batch of butter chunks and butter milk, it's time to stop with the whipping/churning/whatever.

the heat from the motor may simply have melted the butter. did it go back to something like butter when it cooled?

When you overmix the cream, when you skip to pour off the buttermilk, and get a fluffy mass, there is a cure 🙂 I`ve found out what to do in this case – simply melt the mousse completely to be liquid again, then cool it in the refrigirator. It will separate to butter and buttermilk. Pour off the buttermilk and wash out the butter, add salt. Perfect!!
