Coconut Butter Recipe

When I saw this product, I immediately wanted to make it.  I ventured out to find a coconut so that I could make my own coconut milk, too...  But Shop Rite of South Philly and the Reading Terminal Market both failed me.  Instead, I bought unsweetened coconut to make just coconut butter.  Here's what I did.


Ingredients:
2 Cups of Unsweetened Coconut Chips
**optional - 1 tbsp of coconut oil to make it smoother.


Directions:
Put coconut chips/shredded coconut in a vitamix blender or food processor on high for 10-15 minutes, constantly scraping the sides as you go.


Result- delicious coconut butter.  Best served warm or at room temperature.  Use as a flavorful spread on your favorite sandwich or cracker..  Or, add to a salad dressing or smoothie for extra flavor.  I love coconut, don't you??
