Making It Simple And Healthy

Naturally sweet, this recipe is a great alternative to most sugar-packed spreads and dips. It adds a subtle sweetness to just about anything you pair it with and has a smooth consistency for easy spreading. The best part is, it comes with a healthy heaping of coconut oil for extra nutrition.

Here’s How To Get Creative With It

The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to coconut butter. We love it as a creamy filling for dessert bars, a dip for our favorite fruits, or as a white chocolate substitute for truffles and fat bombs.

Helpful Tips To Get Started:

• Make the most of your ingredients. When blending, stop every so often to scrape the sides with a rubber spatula. This will ensure every ounce of shredded coconut is utilized.
• Maintain the right consistency. Coconut butter often solidifies at room temperature in cooler weather. To soften it, set it in a bowl of hot water for 10 minutes before using.
• Bump up the taste. Try adding a bit of raw honey or monk fruit sweetener to make it extra sweeter.
• Store it in an airtight jar. Leave your coconut butter in a dry spot for up to two months without refrigeration.
