Homemade Coconut Butter

Author Amber Brady
Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Yields 2 cups coconut butter

Ingredients

  • 5 cups unsweetened shredded coconut, (aka desiccated coconut)

Instructions

  • Using a Blendtec and Twister Jar, blend 2 ½ cups of shredded coconut at a time, twisting the Twister Lid counter-clockwise as needed, until liquified. I used the ice cream button (medium-high speed for 45 seconds.)
  • Pour coconut butter into a microwaveable container with a lid for storage. The coconut butter will solidify as it sits at room temperature. Store in a cool place, but it does not have to be refrigerated.
  • TO USE: Heat for 30 seconds at a time in the microwave (no metal lids!) until it gets to a soft, spreadable texture/paste. It may take a few minutes depending on how cold it is where you store it.
