Questions about Coconut butter
What is coconut butter made from?
It is finely ground coconut flesh, usually dried, blended until its natural oils make a thick paste. Unlike coconut oil, it contains the coconut solids as well as the fat.
How do you soften coconut butter when it has gone hard?
Stand the jar in warm water for a few minutes, then stir well; a short burst in the microwave also works if the jar is microwave-safe. Avoid overheating it, which can make the oil separate.
Can you make coconut butter at home?
Yes. Blend unsweetened desiccated coconut in a powerful food processor, scraping down the sides regularly; it may take 10–20 minutes to turn from crumbs into a smooth, spreadable paste.
How should you store coconut butter?
Keep it in a clean, airtight jar in a cool, dry cupboard. It firms up in cool conditions and softens when warm; stir it if oil gathers on top.
What can you use coconut butter for?
Spread it on toast or porridge, stir a spoonful into a curry or smoothie, or use it in baking and energy bites. It also works as a topping for pancakes and roasted fruit.
Can you use coconut oil instead of coconut butter?
Not as a direct swap: coconut oil is almost entirely fat, while coconut butter includes ground coconut flesh and has a thicker, slightly sweet texture. For a spread or filling, use blended coconut flesh or another nut butter instead.
Is coconut butter the same as creamed coconut?
They are closely related products made from coconut flesh, but creamed coconut is often sold as a firm block for cooking, while coconut butter is usually a spreadable paste in a jar. Check that the ingredient is coconut alone if you want an unsweetened product.
