Coconut butter is a wonderful thing, (a bit pricey). but you can make this amazing, wonderfulness yourself and keep your money. It's got to be one of the easiest recipes around, there's only one ingredient, dried coconut. I used this recipe I found on chocolate-covered Katie the first time I made coconut butter. For this I added a second ingredient and took it from plain old coconut butter, to extra-ordinary strawberry coconut butter!
Plain coconut flakes
Plus fresh strawberries
Equals delicious strawberry coconut butter.
What's so great about making this is you can push start on the food processor and walk away and do the dishes, a load of laundry, oooor not. When it's all done store in the refrigerator, because of the added strawberries. Below is how it looks after firming.
Enjoy on crackers
Toast
in smoothies.
The ways to enjoy are limitless, at room temperature, softened or straight out of the fridge.
