Coconut Butter

After successfully attempting to make peanut butter (oh yes…super yummy!),  I decided to try making my own coconut butter…I mean…hey…I’m an islander, coconut is in my blood!!!  So I gave it a try and I love it!  I think its a bit like the cream of Oreo biscuits minus the sugar!  They work really well with biscuits or toast.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup Desiccated Coconut powder
  • 2 to 4 tablespoon of Organic Coconut oil.

Preparation:

  1. In your grinder, add your desiccated coconut and pulse a few times until you notice that the coconut is starting to look moist and sticky.
  2. Next, add a tablespoon of oil and pulse again.  It will start to form a paste after some time.  Note that it can take some time.  Pulse a few times, open your grinder and stir before pulsing again.
  3. If you want your butter to be stickier (like mine), you will use about 3 tablespoon of oil.  If you want a creamier texture, you will need to more oil gradually and pulse some more.
  4. Once your coconut butter is ready, pour it into an air-tight jar.
