Description
Homemade Coconut Butter has just one ingredient: unsweetened shredded coconut! It’s easy to make at home in a food processor or high-powdered blender in under 5 minutes, and has a ton of uses! It’s great as a spread on its own, and can also be used as an ingredient in many different recipes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, sometimes also called desiccated coconut or flaked coconut
Instructions
- Place the unsweetened shredded coconut in a high-powered blender (I used my Vitamix) or a food processor. In a blender, anywhere between 2-4 cups of coconut will work. For a food processor, I find 4 cups works best. If you don’t have enough coconut, it will have a hard time blending so don’t use a smaller amount.
- Turn the machine on high and process until a smooth butter forms. If you’re using a high-powered blender, use the tamper stick to push the coconut flakes down towards the blades until the butter gets creamy enough to blend without it. It should take 3-5 minutes. If you’re using a food processor, scrape down the sides frequently to ensure everything is evenly blended. It will take between 6-12 minutes in a food processor.
- Pour the mixture into a glass jar or container. The coconut butter will be solid if stored below 77ºF – heat for about 15 seconds in the microwave to re-liquify.
