Make Coconut Butter

From www.thecoconutmama.com


It is no secret that I love coconuts. My all time favorite coconut product is coconut butter. I use it on a daily basis. Coconut baby loves her coconut butter too! We pay anywhere from $10-$15 for a 16 oz jar of this stuff. Not cheap! So I decided it was time to start making our own.
Homemade Coconut Butter
Makes 1/2 – 3/4 cup
Process shredded coconut in food processor or vita-mix for 15-20 minutes.

After 5 minutes of processing…Photobucket
10 minutes…

Slowly but surely, the shredded coconut became coconut butter!
In this picture – Tropical Traditions Coconut Cream Concentrate, 
Artisana Raw Coconut Butter, and Coconut Mama’s Coconut Butter.

I gave the Coconut Baby a taste test of each coconut butter.

She checked the texture of the products as well as the flavors. Only the one with the most coconut flavor would win her over.
This one was her favorite!
Yep, she liked her Mama’s Coconut Butter the best!

Okay, she liked all of them. But I think deep down, she thought mine was the best!
