Foolproof Homemade Coconut Butter

Foolproof Homemade Coconut Butter

Ingredients

• 4 cup unsweetened shredded dried coconut ((or 5 cups flaked coconut, 300 g/ 10.6 oz))
• 1/4 tsp salt ((or 5 cups flaked coconut, 300 g/ 10.6 oz))
• 1/2 tsp vanilla powder ((or 5 cups flaked coconut, 300 g/ 10.6 oz))

Instructions

1. Place the coconut - shredded or flaked - in a food processor (I use this Kenwood mixer with a food processor attachment that includes the "S blade").
2. Start processing until desired consistency is reached.
3. If you use enough coconut, you won't need to scrape it from the sides.
4. Here is how the coconut looks before blending and after a minute...
5. After 3-5 minutes...
6. After 7-8 minutes...
7. I add the salt at this point and just pulse for a few more seconds to mix it in.
8. When the coconut butter is done, it will be runny and will solidify as it cools down.
9. Just like coconut oil, coconut butter is solid at room temperature and becomes runny at 24 °C/ 76 °F.
10. I store mine at room temperature for up to a month.
