Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
1. Add the unsweetened shredded coconut to a high-speed blender or food processor. Make sure your equipment is dry to prevent clumping.
2. Pulse the shredded coconut a few times to break it down, then process continuously for 1–2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl or blender as needed.
3. Continue to process the coconut for 5–7 minutes. The coconut will transition through several stages: starting as a dry powder, then becoming clumpy, and finally transforming into a smooth, creamy butter as the natural oils are released.
4. Once the mixture is smooth and liquid-like, stop processing. Taste the coconut butter and optionally, you can add a pinch of salt for a subtle flavor enhancement.
5. Transfer the coconut butter to a clean, airtight jar or container. Allow it to cool at room temperature before sealing the jar.
6. Store your coconut butter at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 2 months. Simply warm it slightly to re-soften if it hardens.
