Preparation

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, blend up the shredded coconut until you see it start to look like the oils have been released. (It will start to look like a looser version of peanut butter.)
This can take about 15-20 minutes depending on if you are using a blender or food processor.
Once the coconut gets to that stage, add in the chocolate bar and continue to blend until smooth.
I store mine in the pantry in an old mason jelly jar.
Recipe makes about 2 cups coconut butter.
I stored the coconut butter in my pantry. It may harden slightly, but you can stick the jar in a pot of hot water and it should soften right up. Blending it again may help as well.
