Homemade Coconut BUTTER 



from lovelovething

Ingredients:

~4 cups full-fat unsweetened shredded coconut or coconut flakes (where to buy)

Optional: 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Makes it smoother but if you don’t have any coconut oil on hand, it’s not a problem. (where to buy coconut oil)

Equipment:

Blender – high-speed blender is preferred. (where to buy)

Instructions:

Dump the shredded coconut into the blender and BLEND. Start slowly and work your way up to high. Use the tamper if you have one.

Using a high-speed blender, you’ll need to blend for at least a minute. I think that should do it.

Pour into a container for keeping. Can be stored in pantry or cabinet. I don’t recommend refrigerating it. Stir well before use. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

I actually prefer the homemade. It’s more thoroughly blended, plus there is that little feeling of pride that says – Hey, I made that. Cool.
