Coconut butter is one of my favorite coconut products. It has a rich coconut flavor that is dense and creamy. Over the years I’ve received several emails from readers asking me how I use up my coconut butter. Most people use coconut butter as a replacement for nut butter for toast or sandwiches. I love to use coconut butter to create delicious treats for my family.
What Is Coconut Butter
Coconut Butter is made from raw dried shredded coconut. When you puree the shredded coconut the coconut oil and coconut meat mix together and turn into a butter spread. You must use shredded coconut that has not been defatted. Pure dried shredded coconut will make perfect coconut butter. You can find my homemade coconut butter recipe here or watch my (cheesy) video tutorial here. You can also purchase coconut butter online or at your local health food store.
Coconut butter is also called coconut spread, coconut manna and coconut cream concentrate.
