Remember a couple days ago when I shared with you about my deep love for coconut. Yeah – I think it’s sort of taken over my kitchen. I can’t stop myself. I just keep buying more so I can make more goodies. I sure wish I could pinpoint what exactly it is about it that makes me swoon. All I know is I think I may start depleting the world’s supply. Do you think I could get a palm tree to grow in North Idaho? Suppose I would have had better luck in Nevada – only it wasn’t moist enough there. Hmmmmm – maybe this is a sign I am in desperate need of a trip to a tropical location. In the meantime I’m just going to spread this Toasted Coconut Butter I made on everything I can.
It smells INCREDIBLE!!!!!
I’m so looking forward to using this in so many recipes to come.
Toasted Coconut Butter
Ingredients
- 1 cup Toasted Coconut
- 3-4 tbsp coconut oil - in it's liquid form
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add your toasted coconut to your food processor or blender. (I found with this volume I was using I had better luck with my blender just because it was a tighter space for the blades to really work well)
- Pulse the coconut - it will become powdery & then start to stick to itself & then become smooth
- When it gets to this sticky point - add in your coconut oil & keep blending
- Add vanilla & pulse 3-4 times to mix
- Store in a jar - either at room temperature or in the fridge

Coconut is so good for you as well — this sounds delicious!

Indeed Nancy – I think the health factor just seals the deal for me.
Donna says
I love coconut at well! What do you use the coconut butter for or should I say on?
Gina Kleinworth says
You can add it to smoothies, use it in baking as a nut free butter, spread it on bread, cook with it – there are so many different ways to use it.

That looks heavenly! You are such a creative lady! We have been adding coconut water to our smoothies because it is so refreshing and hydrating!
Tamar Strauss-Benjamin says
Using coconut butter – so smart! I thought you’d use regular butter with coconut in it – so smart!
Gina Kleinworth says
Oh no – grind it up with a little coconut oil & that’s all your need. Fabulous!

Oh my! I would have to make this in very small batches, because I know I wouldn’t be able to stay away from it! I was drooling looking at the thumbnail before I even opened the post. 🙂 [#PinItThurs]

The wonders of coconut…and you naturally have captured these images beautifully! As always, you inspire me to get creative in the kitchen.

Oh YUM, that sounds amazing!

This looks amazing! I wish we had coconut here (we have young thai coconuts, but not the more mature brown ones that you can make homemade toasted coconut from…) This looks delish!

This sounds delish, Gina! And while I don’t have a coconut palm in my front yard, a few neighbors do. I should try this with dried fresh coconut. Mmm!
