Chocolate Coconut Butter

Jump to Recipe

Chocolate Coconut Butter : savorylotus.com

I love coconut.  Coconut oil, coconut flakes, coconut milk, coconut water.  But my most favorite coconut thing is coconut butter.  Have you ever had it?  UH-MAY-ZING!  And you know what’s even more amazing?  Chocolate Coconut Butter!

Yes, coconut and chocolate.  Could you just die?

Homemade coconut butter is easy to make at home.  All you need is some shredded unsweetened coconut and a high speed blender or food processor.  I prefer my high speed blender.  It takes about a minute and a half.  I have used the food processor but I’m not patient enough to wait the 15 plus minutes it takes.

Once you have your coconut butter made, just add a few simple ingredients and you have the most decadent, chocolatey spread you have ever had.  I like to eat it right off of the spoon, but once melted, it makes a delicious frosting or spread for your favorite desserts.

Loaded with immune boosting coconut and antioxidant-rich raw cacao , this chocolate coconut butter is a treat you can feel good about indulging in.  It’s ridiculously simple and ridiculously good! Enjoy!

Chocolate Coconut Butter

  • Author: Katja from Savory Lotus
  • Yield: about 2 cups 1x
Print Recipe
Pin Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces of unsweetened shredded coconut (like this) (about 3 and 1/2 cups)
  • 1 TBS coconut oil (like this), melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp unrefined sea salt (I use this one)
  • 2 TBS coconut oil, melted
  • 6–8 TBS raw honey (like this one) OR REAL maple syrup
  • 5 TBS raw cacao powder (like this) (or unsweetened cocoa powder)

Instructions

  1. Process shredded coconut and 1 TBS of melted coconut oil in high speed blender for about 1 minute. You may need to scrape the sides with the tamper attachment.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients and mix until you get a smooth paste. Add to blender.
  3. Process again for another 45 to 60 seconds, until it is of the desired consistency.
  4. This will harden at room temperature and will soften again at about 76’F.

Notes

This can also be done in a food processor but will take a bit more time. You will need to scrape the sides periodically. My experience has been that it takes about 15 minutes this way. Be sure to watch that you don’t overheat your food processor.

    Hi Katja 🙂

    Can you recommend a good high powered blender or processor capable of making coconut butter please… Mine takes a lot longer than 15mins… Thank you!

      I use my Vitamix. Works great. This is the one that I have—–> http://amzn.to/1cdz3Cs Yes, expensive but gets used ALL of the time. It really does take a while in the food processor. I have an old Cuisinart that does the job but takes FOREVER. I recommend the high speed blender, for sure.

💧💧DRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL • 3 easy things yo 💧💧DRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL • 3 easy things you can do to get things flowing 💧💧

1️⃣ HYDRATION 💧💧💧• drink half your body weight in ounces every day • start the day with 32 ounces of clean water in the first 1-2 hours that you’re awake • drink clean, filtered water • tap water can be loaded with heavy metals, pesticides, + pharmaceuticals 😵• water makes up 60 percent of our total body weight + 90 percent of brain weight 🧠• adequate water intake is essential for the body to function properly • water delivers important nutrients to all of our cells, especially muscle cells (energy!!), helps to move the digestive process along through the system,  helps with constipation, moves toxins through the body faster, and optimizes kidney function (detox!) • without adequate water, toxins can’t be excreted + then can build up in the body 

2️⃣ BOWEL MOMENTS 💩💩 • aim for 1-2 good-sized bowel movements per day (think at least banana-sized 🍌) without feeling the need to strain or feeling of incomplete evacuation afterwards • if the food that we eat is not traveling through the body fast enough, it will sit in the bowels + ferment/rot and the toxins get reabsorbed into the body 😩+ can cause abdominal pain, bloating, + gas 💨• prioritize hydration to keep food moving + eat plenty of fiber to speed up digestion • avoid inflammatory foods • take magnesium to help things keep flowing • practice enemas to hydrate colon + to increase peristalsis • get a professional colonic to hydrate, tone, + clean large intestine • keep things flowing out • better out than in 😉

3️⃣ MOVEMENT 🤸🏽‍♀️🏃‍♀️💃🏻🚴🏽‍♂️• move your body every day • walk, run, jump, dance, ride a bike • take 2 minute movement tbreaks throughout the day • the lymphatic system is one of our main waste removal systems + relies on skeletal muscle contractions to keep flowing • prioritize exercise + walking • hot Epsom salt baths stimulate circulation, improve lymphatic drainage + promote sweating 🛁🛁• sweating in a sauna stimulates the lymphatic system to release excess water + toxins 💦💦
