I could eat coconut butter right off the spoon! So easy to make and lots of uses for it. Check out my freezer fudge recipe which uses some!

Steps

20 mins

1

Tip the shredded coconut into your blender and blitz for between 5 - 20 minutes depending on your machine, scraping down the sides as required until the coconut turns into coconut butter
2

It's that easy! Store in a lidded container at room temperature. It is solid in it's natural state and doesn't require chilling
3

Use in cakes, desserts, as a sweet spread for sandwiches and rice cakes or melt and drizzle over fruit for a tasty treat!
4

You'll need at least 400g / 5 cups to form butter. Any less and the mixture may not reach the blades of your machine. However much coconut you use, this recipe will yield half as much butter
5

FYI, making coconut milk is much the same. Soak the shredded coconut in twice as much it's volume warm water in a blender, then blitz until creamy. Strain through a muslin cloth and ta-da, homemade coconut milk. Using less water makes thicker milk/cream
6

Keep the pulp leftover, spread it on a lined baking tray and bake on a low heat until touch dry. Jar it and label it 'coconut flour' ;)
7

This will make enough coconut butter to fill a 300g jar
