Description

Ina Garten’s truffled popcorn elevates movie night snacking with luxurious truffle oil and parmesan. Delicate kernels get a gourmet upgrade, making movie watching feel like a sophisticated culinary experience you’ll savor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces (56 grams) white truffle butter
  • 1 package microwave popcorn, such as Newman’s Own Natural
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Kernel Preparation: Microwave popcorn following package guidelines to achieve a full, crisp batch of kernels.
  2. Truffle Butter Transformation: Melt truffle butter in a small saucepan over low heat, transforming it into a smooth, liquid consistency without burning.
  3. Popcorn Coating: Transfer popped corn into a spacious bowl, then elegantly drizzle the liquefied truffle butter across the surface, ensuring complete and even coverage.
  4. Seasoning Finale: Sprinkle kosher salt delicately over the buttered popcorn, then gently toss the mixture by rotating the bowl, guaranteeing each kernel is luxuriously coated with truffle essence and perfectly seasoned.
  5. Serving: Offer the gourmet popcorn immediately while warm, capturing its peak flavor and crisp texture.

Notes

  • Elevate Popping Technique: Use fresh, high-quality kernels and follow microwave instructions precisely to prevent burning or unpopped kernels.
  • Control Butter Melting: Warm truffle butter slowly over low heat to maintain its delicate flavor and prevent scorching, which can create a bitter taste.
  • Ensure Even Coating: Use a large bowl that allows ample space for tossing, guaranteeing each kernel gets completely covered with truffle butter and salt.
  • Serve Immediately: Enjoy the popcorn right after preparation to experience the optimal balance of warmth, crispness, and luxurious truffle aroma.
