Coconut Butter

By Maverick19

If you store your coconut butter in a mason jar, in the refrigerator, you can warm some water in a pot on the stove and place the glass jar of coconut butter in to soften it.

Ingredients

• 1 lb unsweetened shredded coconut OR coconut flakes
• 1 pinch of salt
• Coconut Oil, melted, to achieve desired consistency

Preparation

Step 1

1. Load the coconut flakes into a blender (Vitamix or BlendTec) or a Food Processor. Add a pinch of salt and turn the machine on.
2. If using a blender, you may want to use the tamper to push the flakes down. After a minute or so, the coconut will begin to liquefy. Stop the machine and scrape the sides down with a spatula. Continue until the coconut has turned to coconut butter and is liquefied and store it in an airtight container like a mason jar.
3. If using a food processor, the process will take longer, around 8-10 minutes. Stop the machine intermittently to scrape the sides down with a spatula. Continue until the coconut has turned to coconut butter and is softened and store it in an airtight container, like a mason jar.
