Ingredients

  • 7 cups unsweetened shredded coconut (approximately 1.25 pounds)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional for blending ease)

Instructions

High Powered Blender Instructions
    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the coconut (and coconut oil, if using) into the Vitamix (or other high-powered blender).  Of course, you can try to use less.  I just found that this is a great amount to get it blending well in the Vitamix to produce a wonderful consistency quickly.
  2. Turn the motor of your Vitamix on and quickly work the speed up.  Run the machine on High while using the tamper to keep the coconut moving through the blades (or follow directions for your blender)
  3. Run the machine on high for about 1 minute.
  4. After a brief rest, process the coconut on High again for up to 1 minute until it is of the desired consistency.
  5. Pour into a glass jar for storage.
Food Processor Instructions
  1. Put the coconut shreds (and coconut oil, if using) into a food processor.
  2. Turn the food processor on and process until the shreds make a butter, taking breaks as needed for the machine to cool.

Notes

  •  Start with less coconut.  This works more consistently if you start with only about 4 cups of shredded coconut.  Make that into a butter and then add 1 cup of additional coconut at a time, blending to a butter with the addition of each cup.
  • Make sure that your blender is COMPLETELY dry.  Even a little bit of water makes things problematic.
