Madeline has a thing for sweet corn. Lately, every time we go to the grocery store she asks for corn on the cob.
And I don’t blame her. It’s summer and corn is so good right now! Some weeks it seems like they’re practically giving it away at the grocery store.
She’s not picky about how she eats her corn on the cob. She’s happy to just have it steamed or boiled and brushed with butter, but I love grilled corn on the cob.
Why not take it corn on the cob to the next level with this homemade cilantro lime compound butter?

What is Cilantro Lime Compound Butter?
Essentially, compound butter a combination of butter and supplementary ingredients, such as herbs and garlic, and is used to enhance the flavor of dishes.
They’re often called herbed butters – though there are so many varieties (sweet and savory), and don’t always contain herbs.
After mixing softened butter with the additional flavors, herbs, and and aromatics, the butter is then reformed and chilled until firm. Once firm, the mixture can be sliced and added to a variety of foods.

How to Shape Cilantro Lime Butter
You don’t have to shape the cilantro lime butter, especially if you’re using it right away and serving it soft from a bowl works fine.
But, sometimes you’ll want to be able to make the butter ahead of time or have the option to slice pieces of butter when serving. In that case, I like to roll the butter into a log. Here’s how you do that:
Shaping Cilantro Lime Butter into a Cylinder
- Place the softened cilantro lime butter down the center of a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap.
- Then, fold one end of the parchment over the top of the butter.
- With a straight edge (a ruler or bench scraper works great), push the butter back into a cylinder while you hold the paper down over top.
- After that, roll the the butter forward into a roll.
- Twist the ends (like a tootsie roll!)
- Place the rolled cylinder of butter in the fridge to chill until firm.
- When ready to serve, unroll the cilantro lime compound butter and slice.
How to Make Butter Rosettes
If you want to make little butter rosettes, you can do that, too! It is a great way to fancy up your butter and easier than you might think!
To make cilantro lime butter rosettes, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, transfer the softened butter to a piping bag fitted with whatever piping tip you prefer for the shape of your butter.
Pipe the shapes of the butter on to the parchment lined pan. Then, when the pan is full, transfer it to the fridge until the butter firms up.

Ways to Use Cilantro Lime Butter
Compound butter is one of the easiest ways to dress up simple recipes. The list could go on and on, but here are some of my favorite uses.
For extra flavor, add compound butter to:
- Rustic Bread, Homemade Baguette, or Flaky Biscuits – who doesn’t love their bread or biscuits with a side of butter? Try it with herbed butter sometime. It’s so good!
- Grilled Corn – I love summer corn on the grill! Just brush this butter on the corn after it cooks.
- Mashed Potatoes or Baked Potatoes – butter is a must have with mashed or baked potatoes. Using this cilantro lime butter adds an extra flavor element to these favorite sides.
- Juicy, Grilled Steaks – Check out my favorite flank steak marinade, just place a slice of the butter on the finished steak.
- Simple steamed or grilled vegetables – you can melt the butter and drizzle it over the cooked vegetables, or serve softened butter on the side
- Seafood Dishes – this butter is great on fish fillets shrimp recipes, especially grilled shrimp and fish
- Roast Chicken or Turkey – place the butter underneath the skin, especially over the breast meat, to infuse your roasted meats with flavor.
- Simple Pasta Dishes – basic pasta tossed with an herbed butter becomes anything but ordinary and makes a great, simple side dish!
More Butter Flavors
Compound Butter recipes, like this cilantro lime butter, are great because they’re so easy to adapt to your own personal tastes. Just use your imagination! You can create so many different flavor combinations, but here are a few of my favorites to get your imagination flowing.
Ways to Adapt this Cilantro-Lime Butter
Wondering what flavors go with cilantro and lime? These ingredients would be great added to this recipe (maybe not all of them at once, though)!
- Chili Flakes – will add some flecks of red in the butter and a touch of heat.
- Chili Powder – chili powder will add smokier spicy flavor more evenly throughout the butter.
- Cumin – cumin has a warm, earthy and slightly nuttier flavor that adds a depth of flavor. It also pairs really well with cilantro and lime as well as chili powder and is commonly used in Mexican dishes.
- Minced Fresh Jalapeño – fresh jalapeño always goes well with cilantro and lime. Make sure you mince them very finely because it will had some heat to the cilantro lime butter. The heat of a jalapeño is more of a bright spiciness rather than earthy or smoky.
- Cotija Cheese – a salty cow’s milk cheese commonly used in Mexico that goes really well with cilantro and lime. It will add an element of umami to the butter and tastes especially good if you want to use the cilantro butter on grilled corn!

Tips for Making Cilantro Lime Butter
You want to use softened butter for this compound butter recipe, not melted butter. Melted butter can’t be rolled into a log and doesn’t mix well with the other ingredients. Forgot to take your butter out of the fridge? Here’s How to Soften Butter Quickly.
Also note that you can use salted or unsalted butter. If using unsalted butter, you may want to add additional salt to the compound butter to ensure it has plenty of flavor.
Finally, go easy on the garlic in your compound butter. I love garlicky foods, but raw garlic is extremely potent. Stick to one clove for your first batch of butter and make sure it is finely minced (or use a garlic press).
More Homemade Spreads & Sauces:
This Homemade Marinara Sauce needs to simmer for a long time on the stove, but the actual hands-on prep work needed to make it is minimal.
Have more fresh herbs you need to use up? Try making a batch of this Kale Cilantro Pesto. It can be frozen for later, or you can enjoy it right away.
This tangy Raspberry Curd can be enjoyed atop ice cream, in yogurt, on toast, and more. It uses frozen raspberries, so it’s easy to make year-round.
Arrabbiata Sauce is basically marinara’s spicy cousin. It’s delicious atop pasta, in lasagna, and more! Bonus: it’s ready in just 5 minutes.
Cranberry sauce isn’t just for Thanksgiving! Spoon this Cranberry Orange Relish atop baked chicken breasts, turkey sandwiches, pancakes, and more.

I love making Cinnamon Compound Butter (non-dairy for me!) for my hubby! He loves it!
Deb says
Try “browned butter” for your next corn-on-the-cob fest! Just take a stick and “brown” it in your favorite cast iron skillet. Melt it and keep an eye on it. When it starts getting “browned” remove from heat. TO DIE FOR DELICIOUSNESS!!!
I’m going to make your recipe using some HimalaSalt pink salt that I just got from Sustainable Sourcing. Thanks for posting!

Something we often forgot, it is the flowers of the basil. Yes, you can eat it. For me, it is the best part of the basil. It is more subtil and it is so fresh. “Try it, you’ll like it”
TheGourmetCoffeeGuy says
Cilantro and lime, two favorites in our home. Compound butter is a great idea that makes such a nice impression on a dinner table. Besides the conversation starter, the butter tastes great and it is something guests remember for a long time. Like your post very much, thank you for sharing.
Allison says
I have been making butters like this – in fact I made a cilantro lime butter just the other day for grilled corn on the cob. HOWEVER, mine doesn’t look this pretty at all! I love the parchment paper idea – definitely trying that. You are so good at making food look pretty.
Sylvie @ Gourmande in the Kitchen says
What a nice addition to corn, I like that blue cheese and rosemary one too!
Mrs. Jen B says
I love using compound butter! My favorite use is on homemade bread – I feel like regular butter or (gasp!) margarine just aren’t good enough for it. Otherwise I use it on fish or beef. Delicious!
Tracy says
What a great way to add flavor to a dish! Our CSA owner made chive butter this past week and it was amazing. Yours looks wonderful too!!

Yum! Blue Cheese Rosemary also sounds delicious!
Tara @The Butter Dish says
Butter runs through my veins I have no doubt and I love making seasoned butters. This sounds particularly taste bud tantalizing. Love the idea!
cat says
too funny – i just sat down with a cup of coffee to relax for a minute and read a few blogs on my feed reader and saw this post on compound butters . . . i had just finished making a batch of lime-thyme butter to go with corn for dinner tonight! must be the season. 🙂 love your ideas for different combinations — will have to try the blue cheese-rosemary – that sounds delicious!

Cilantro and lime is delish on just about everything, but adding butter to the mix just makes it even more amazing! Now I’m craving cilantro-lime corn!
