DIY Coconut Butter

{by Teniel Moore-Raw Foods Contributor}

Who doesn’t love coconut butter? It Is rich, decadent & delicious.

Are you one of those people spending a fortune on gourmet brand coconut butter? Then let me show you how you can save yourself a fortune and make your own in under a minute or so for under $4.00!

WHAT YOU NEED

All you are going to need is a high speed blender

3 cups of dried coconut (or more– this will make approximately 1 cup of coconut butter.)

HOW TO

~Pour at least 3 cups of dried coconut into your high speed blender

~Turn on and start blending. My vitamix blends it down in 30 sec on high speed.

~Then turn it off for about 20 sec to rest and blend it again for another 30 sec.

Done! Its that easy. Depending on how good your blender is what will determine the time it takes to get the consistency you like. Make sure to give your blender a little rest in between if you feel like its struggling a bit.

Now you can pour your coconut butter into a cute little glass bottle and store in the fridge or in your cupboard depending on how hot it is at your place.

Or… you can do what I love to do and pour it into cute little chocolate moulds and keep them in the freezer. I eat them striaght from the freezer, just like a little white chocolate treat.

No guilt, all I’m eating is coconut. Delicious, good- for- you healthy fat. Remember, good-quality healthy fats are nothing to be afraid of.
