DIY Coconut Butter

Place the coconut shreds in your food processor or blender. Turn it on and allow it to process the coconut until it forms a thick paste, while scraping the inside bowl a couple times. To reach the stage shown in the picture (looks like a delicious frosting, doesn’t it?), it took me about 5 minutes. But if you continue to mix for another 5 or 6 minutes, it can become a lot more liquid-like. I wanted something a little more firm this time, so I stopped once the mixture was smooth and glossy but still nice and firm. And that’s it! This recipe will make about 3/4 cup of coconut butter.
