Coconut Butter

coconut-butter

Ingredients

6 cups unsweetened, dried coconut flakes

Directions

1. Place 3 cups of coconut in a Vitamix and blend until the it begins to look like shredded coconut.

2. Add the remaining 3 cups of coconut and blend until all of the coconut looks shredded.  Use the tamper to scrape down the sides frequently.

3. Continue to blend on high.  As the oils come out, the coconut will start to clump up.  As soon as you see the clumping, switch to the high power option and continue to blend while scraping down the sides using the tamper.  As it heats up on high, it will become smooth and liquidy.  While it is warm, pour it into a glass jar.  Let it cool before covering.  Store at room temperature.
