| 4 c COCONUT FLAKES |
| Instructions |
| Coconut butter contains only one ingredient: coconut flakes. And it takes only one step to make it: a blender. The yield for 4 cups of coconut flakes is about a cup and half of coconut butter. |
| Start with raw, dried, unsweetened coconut flakes. Puree 4 cups of coconut flakes in a blender on high for 8 minutes, pushing down the sides as you go. The coconut flakes will undergo 3 stages in the transformation to coconut butter. First, the flakes will be finely ground. Second, the texture will become a grainy liquid. Finally, it will become a smooth, thick liquid. The final texture will ultimately be thick, slightly grainy peanut butter. |
| Pour the coconut butter into a jar and serve! |
