Coconut Butter

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup carrot juice (you can blend a medium raw carrot with a cup of filtered water, then strain to obtain a clear juice; this will work perfectly)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (such as avocado oil, grape seed oil, sunflower oil, etc.)
  • 3/4 cup solidified coconut oil

Preparation:

  1. In a blender, combine the carrot juice, plant-based milk, salt, and vegetable oil, and blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. While blending, add the solidified coconut oil and continue blending until thick and creamy.
  3. Pour the mixture into a butter mold or a small jar.
  4. Refrigerate the butter for a few hours until it hardens.
