Ingredients

• 5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

Preparation

Step 1

Place the coconut into a food processor. Turn the machine on, and let it run for 5 to 7 minutes, stopping frequently to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. The coconut butter is ready when it becomes completely smooth and creamy. (or about 3 minutes in Vitamix, using tamper to push it down toward the blades)

Transfer to a glass jar. Store at room temperature for up to 1 month, or in refrigerator indefinitely.
