Make your own Coconut Butter

• Shredded, unsweetened coconut
• Oh wait, there aren’t any other ingredients!

I took a bag of shredded coconut (Let’s Do Organic brand) and simply blended it in my Vita-Mix for about 2-3 minutes. (Note: If you use a food processor, blend for 10-ish minutes.) That’s all there is to it!
While you’re at it, why not also make your own Homemade Cacao Bliss?
Side note: Depending on where you live–and the temperature/altitude–you might have trouble with this recipe. It works perfectly for me (and many of the commenters). But coconut butter is very tempermental and reacts oddly in different temperatures. My wish is that this would work for everyone, but a few people have left comments saying they’ve encountered trouble. So please know before trying that there’s a chance this recipe might not work for you.
