Homemade Coconut Butter

Ingredients

• Shredded, unsweetened coconut (full-fat)
• Oh wait, there aren't any other ingredients!

Total Time: 10m

Instructions

Homemade Coconut Butter: I took a bag of shredded coconut (Let’s Do Organic brand) and simply blended it in my Vita-Mix for about 3-5 minutes. (Note: If you use a food processor, blend for 10-ish minutes.) That’s all there is to it! Chocoholics can also make Homemade Chocolate Coconut Butter.

Side note: Depending on where you live–and the temperature/altitude–you might have trouble with this recipe. It works perfectly for me, and many of the commenters have also reported being wildly successful, but coconut butter reacts oddly in different climates. A few people have left comments saying they’ve encountered trouble – If it refuses to turn to butter for you, add some virgin coconut oil to the blender… usually that fixes things right up!
