Homemade Vanilla Coconut Butter

By rebecca78

"This recipe is an adaptation of a recipe by Ashley from Edible Perspective, which I found on Food52. The sugar isn’t necessary in this recipe, but I like the sweetness it adds and the way it brings out the coconut and vanilla flavors."

Ingredients

• 2 cups unsweetened coconut
• 1 teaspoon high-quality vanilla
• 2 teaspoon sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Place all the ingredients together in the bowl of a large food processor. Blend 3 to 5 minutes or until smooth and creamy. Coconut butter will get hard in cooler temperatures. To soften, microwave 20 to 30 seconds or until desired consistency for spreading on toast.
