Learn how to make coconut butter using just one ingredient! It’s a creamy, rich indulgence that’s actually healthy, and you won’t believe how easy it is to make it at home.
In a food processor or high powdered blender, add the coconut flakes.
Blend together for about 3 to 4 minutes until the flakes are beginning to clump together.
Open and scrape down the food processor.
Secure back on top and continue to blend. Keep blending until everything has been blended together for about 16 minutes. You'll need to keep scraping in between, about every 3-5 minutes or when the blade is not blending anything. The flakes will begin to break down into a paste, and then a thick and creamy spreadable butter.
Remove and pour into a jar. It'll harden once cooled or in the fridge.
To use, microwave slightly for about 10 seconds to soften, or place a hot kitchen towel around the jar to soften. Enjoy!
Notes
Store homemade coconut butter in an airtight jar or container and keep it in a cool dry place; it will last for a few weeks. If it’s summertime or you’re in a warm environment, you can store it in the refrigerator if you want it to maintain a firmer consistency.
