Ingredients

• 4 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut

Directions

Step 1

1. Add the unsweetened shredded coconut to a high-speed blender or food processor. Make sure your equipment is dry to prevent clumping.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

5. Transfer the coconut butter to a clean, airtight jar or container. Allow it to cool at room temperature before sealing the jar.

Step 6

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.
