Learn how to quickly and easily make your very own Smooth and Creamy Coconut Butter at home and find out why you may very well want to invest in a Vitamix!
Add all the ingredients to your high speed blender and process on medium speed for about 30 seconds to a minute, then slowly increase the speed all the way up to the highest setting. Keep processing until the coconut becomes smooth and fairly liquid in consistency, about 3 or 4 minutes total. You might want to remove the lid and scrape the sides once or twice with a rubber spatula just to be certain that you have every last bit in there, but that should be hardly necessary.
Pour the smooth butter into an airtight glass container and store in a cool, dry place. Note that this coconut butter will need time to set, cool down and get back to its natural consistency, which will take about 24 hours.
For a really smooth, fluffy and creamy nut butter, instead of storing your coconut butter immediately, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, until it starts to solidify around the edges while remaining fairly soft in the center.
Take this out of the refrigerator and break it down with a spoon, then beat it with an electric mixer, starting on low speed and moving up to high, until well combined, soft and creamy. Return to the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm up, then beat again on high speed for about 30 seconds to a minute, until fluffy.
Transfer to an airtight glass jar and store in a cool, dry place. Unlike the other version, this butter doesn’t need time to set and can be enjoyed right away.
