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

Scale

Ingredients

  • 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.

how do you start your day? 💪🏃‍♀️🧘🏽‍♀️🚴🏽‍♂️☕️

mindset mindset mindset 🧠🧠• having a morning routine allows us to set an intention for the day rather then just letting the day run away from us • it helps determine our mind set and the tone for the rest of the day ✨✨

things like meditation, journaling, yoga, exercise, and other self-care practices can help us start the day feeling calm and inspired 🧘🏻 • consciously selecting the thoughts we have, the foods we eat , and the news/social media/images we see matters • a solid morning routine can reduce stress, boost energy, increase mental clarity, and leave us feeling 🤩

creating a morning routine looks different for us all • routine comes easier for some than others • we all have different priorities, time limits, physical needs/abilities, and health concerns there • are no rules • find what works for you 

i know that i feel better when i stick to my morning routine • i know that i feel better when i don’t engage with my phone or social media the first hour or two after waking up • i know i feel better when i consciously select what i bring into my head space first thing in the morning, including the thoughts that i have 

my morning routine currently looks like this:  10 minutes of quiet meditation, some form of elimination pathways opening like Gua Sha, coffee e nema, an epsom salts bath, or a sauna, yoga/workout, and a big green juice 🥬🥒🍏

👉👉 do you have a morning routine?  i’d love to hear how you start your day • leave me a comment below ⤵️⤵️
what’s not to love about a fritter? ❤️ • what’s not to love about a fritter? ❤️ •  made a batch of my BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTERS this morning • a great way to get more vegetables onto your plate • so good with a plate of fried eggs and steamed kale • made with just a few simple ingredients • don’t skip the fresh herbs 🍀🌱🍀

* butternut squash (about 3 pounds)- peeled and shredded
* eggs, whisked
* 1/2 cup gluten free flour (I used a combo of almond flour and tapioca) 
* 1/4 cup fresh herbs, finely chopped ( any combo of parsley, basil, sage, or cilantro)
* 1/4–1/2 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp salt
* ghee or avocado oil for cooking

1. in a large bowl, combine shredded butternut squash, eggs, flour, herbs, garlic powder, and salt.  mix to combine. 
2. in a large skillet, heat a liberal amount of fat of choice over medium high heat.  scoop out 2 tablespoons of mixture into hand, squeeze into a ball, and place into skillet, flattening with the back of a spatula or measuring cup. cook until golden brown.  flip and cook other side.  repeat until mixture is all gone, adding more fat as needed. 
3. place cooked fritters onto a wire rack while cooking the rest.  serve immediately or freeze for later once cooled.
self-care is about creating healthy habits ❤️• having a “self-care” routine before you get sick can keep you healthy 💪 • and it doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming • there are so many ways to care for yourself that are 100% free:
💧 hydration
☀️ sunshine,
🌈 fresh air
🌲 nature
🤸🏼‍♂️ movement
🙏 gratitude
👯 connection
🧘🏽‍♀️ meditation

the body usually gives us signals that something is starting to be out of balance • it’s important that we listen or it can lead to more serious health issues • every day is another chance to start taking care of ourselves 

my self-care routine focuses heavily on detoxification/elimination because i’m in heal mode • my toxic burden bucket 🪣 got too full + it put me over the edge • the liver, kidneys, large intestine, lymphatic system, and sweat glands 💦💦 work hard every day to reduce the build up of environmental contaminants and need regular support to keep functioning optimally • my self-care routine includes:

• infrared sauna for sweating
• Gua Sha to move lymph
• epsom salt baths
• daily movement
• hydration
• cold-pressed juices for nutrition
• coffee enemas
• ozone therapy 
• red light therapy 
• time in nature

don’t wait until you get sick to decide to take care of yourself • you only have this one body and this one precious life • it is NOT normal to feel crappy as we age • let’s change the paradigm and move forward in age with grace + vitality ✨✨• than you, @dr.jess.md for motivating me to take things to the next level
