How to Make Coconut Butter
Report
Coconut butter is a creamy coconut spread made from dried coconut. It can be quite expensive to buy at the store, but you can make it at home in just minutes!

Ingredients
- 16 ounces shredded unsweetened coconut (about 4 1/2 cups)
Instructions
- Pour the shredded coconut into the bowl of a large food processor (I use a 12-cup machine) fitted with an "S" blade. Secure the lid and begin processing. After 5 minutes, stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl, to make sure everything is incorporated evenly. (You mustn't use less than 16 ounces of coconut unless you have a much smaller food processor.)
- Continue processing, until the coconut looks pulverized, almost like a paste. After 2 to 3 more minutes, it should have a drippy consistency, with a slightly grainy appearance.
- Continue processing the coconut, until you hear a "sloshing" sound. This is a sign that the coconut butter is much smoother. It may still feel slightly grainy when you taste it, but it should easily drip off of a spoon. It should take 10 minutes or less to achieve this texture, from start to finish.
- Store the coconut butter in a sealed glass jar at room temperature for up to a month. Be sure to avoid adding any moisture to the jar for best shelf life, and you can store it for up to 3 months in the fridge, if you prefer. Please note that it will turn solid if stored in a cool place. You can set the jar in a bowl of hot water or melt it over a double-boiler to use it again.
