Preparation

Step 1

.  That stuff is the bomb and it melts in your mouth.  It can get quite pricey, so I thought I would make my own.  It’s super easy!

Coconut butter just takes a bit longer than peanut butter, so be patient.  Coconut butter can be used a spread or a dip.  If you use it in baking it can
In the food processor, blend up the shredded coconut, scraping the sides down every few minutes. Be prepared to be patient. It takes about 20 minutes. If you use a blender, it takes about half the time, but you have to scrape down the sides more often and it is harder to manage. I liked making it in the food processor much better. I mixed it for a minute or two and walked away. Came back to mix some more a few minutes later. I just kept repeating those steps until I saw a creamy mixture. It took about 20 minutes for me. Super easy! I store mine in a small mason jar. I love mason jars. You can never have enough. I think it should keep for a couple of weeks. I keep mine on the counter top. You can store it in the fridge, but it will harden slightly. That’s it! Enjoy!
