Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add 3 cups of dessicated coconut to the food processor and begin processing. After 3-4 minutes it will start to process down and look a little sparse, that's when you can add the remaining cup of dessicated coconut in.
  • Continue to process, as it starts to form into clumps, add the coconut oil as the machine is running and keep processing until it forms a liquid.
  • Stop the machine and scrape down the sides when needed.
  • It will take around 12-15 minutes in total to get to a liquid consistency.

Notes

  1. Make it completely smooth. Depending on your food processor, the consistency may be slightly grainy. It's completely fine to leave it like this, but if you want it completely smooth, then after making it in the food processor move it to your blender and blend t for a minute to get it completely smooth. 
  2. Storing: Store your coconut butter in a sealed jar at room temperature. It will tend to harden so stand the jar in a bowl of hot water to melt, stir well and it will be ready to use. Lasts at least 2 weeks.
  3. Quantity: This recipe makes around 1 and ¼ cups of coconut butter.
