Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups unsweetened flaked coconut or shredded coconut (either will work)
  • seeds from 1 vanilla bean
  • Optional for a creamy consistency: 1-2 teaspoons coconut oil

Instruction

  • Place coconut shreds/flakes in a food processor and process, scraping down the sides every 2-3 minutes. This should take about 20 minutes to reach the desired consistency. If you'd like a more creamy consistency, feel free to add in a teaspoon or two of coconut oil and process until smooth and creamy. 
  • Stir in vanilla bean once coconut butter is completely smooth then transfer to a mason jar or an airtight container and store at room temperature.
  • Once ready to use again, you can spoon the amount you'd like to use into a microwave safe bowl and reheat for 15-30 seconds. Another option is to reheat over the stove in a saucepan.
