Homemade coconut butter

Now coconut butter is a very useful ingredient in vegan cooking as it can replace normal butter and has a rich and creamy coconut flavour. However it is quite expensive to buy! One jar of coconut butter is around £6 (350ml) - but homemade coconut butter can cost £3 (at most) to yield the same amount.
You will need a HIGH power blender (like the vitamix) - if you don't have one of these then... it might cost you a little more to make it!

Look how smooth and creamy it turns out! (It is slightly melted as it is summer time!) 

Ingredient (Only one!) 

• 400g of toasted coconut chips/ dried coconut 

Method 

1. Pour the coconut chips into a high power, high speed blender 
2. Blend on the top speed for around 5 mins - or until it looks creamy and liquidy and it is clear that the oil has been released. If it still looks too dry then you can always add around 1/2 a tbs of coconut oil but I honestly don't think it will need this 
3. SIDE NOTE: If you are using a food processor then it will take around 10mins to make on the highest power setting
