After about a minute, a paste forms and you’re done! Don’t over-process the butter because it can overheat the Vitamix and then it’s Bad News Bears!

Presto change-o…coconut butter!

Store the coconut butter in a sealed container in a cool dry place for up to a month. If it solidifies, you can swirl the jar in a pot of hot water or microwave it in 15 second increments until smooth and runny.

So simple and delicious! Thanks, Mel!

About Michelle Tam

Hello! My name is Michelle Tam, and I love to eat. I think about food all the time. It borders on obsession. I’ve always loved the sights and smells of the kitchen. My mother was (and is) an excellent cook, and as a kid, I was her little shadow as she prepared supper each night. From her, I gained a deep, abiding love for magically transforming pantry items into mouth-watering family meals.
