Chocolate Coconut Butter

Coconut Butter

yields: 1 cup of coconut butter

• 3 cups shredded coconut
• 1 tsp of vanilla flavor

1. Place the ingredients in a high powered blender, and blend.
2. You may have to scrap down the sides if you are using a food processor or a regular blender.

That is all. Seriously, it is that easy, and so much cheaper than the store bought variety!

Chocolate Coconut Butter

• Homemade coconut butter (from above recipe)
• ½ cup of raw cacao or carob
• 2 very ripe bananas
• ¼ cup of warm water to help with blending
• 1 tsp of vanilla flavor

1. Place all the ingredients in your high powered blender, except the water.
2. Now add water little by little while blending to reach your desired consistency. I used ½ a cup  of water and it became a nice creamy consistency. 

This chocolate coconut spread could easily used in so many different ways. Perhaps place in  the freezer in a square dish for some chocolate fudge, or spread it on some raw bread or just regular bread. You could also use it as raw pie filling
