Homemade Coconut Butter is easy-to-make and inexpensive. No more buying that over-priced raw coconut butter at the store again! You can now make your own for a fraction of the price.

Ingredients
 

  • 2 ½ cups unsweetened coconut chips or flakes

Instructions

  • Dump all of the coconut chips or coconut flakes into a food processor. Blend on high for about 10 minutes.
  • Pause in between to scrape down the sides.
  • When ready, transfer the fresh coconut butter into a jar with a lid and store it into your cabinet space for up to 6 months.

Notes

  • When you first start processing the coconut, it will turn into grains. After about 5 minutes, it will then turn into wet grains. At first, you may think it's not going to happen, but don't give up!
  • As the food processor continues to operate, it will start to become warm. Make sure it doesn't get too hot. If it does, give your processor a break.
  • However, it's the warm heat from the processor that helps the oils separate from the flesh of the coconut, making it easier to blend and helping to achieve a butter consistency.
Here are simple storage tips:
SERVE: You can use this as frosting, freeze it in candy molds, add it to ice cream, smoothies, and on top of muffins or bread slices.
STORE: Store the butter in a jar with a lid. It does not need to be refrigerated. The jar can be kept at room temperature for up to six months. 
FREEZE: Place the buttein a freezer-safe container and freeze for 5-6 months. You can also freeze smaller portions of the butter by freezing it in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe Ziploc bag.
