Before jumping to the recipe, we want to let you know why we consider it important to share this recipe of how to make coconut butter at home. First of all, right now there are many vegan products on the market claiming to be healthy but they in fact are less healthy than the regular ones (not vegan options). Most of the time they are full of ingredients/additives to emulate textures or flavors that end ups full of empty calories and unhealthy stuff. for this reason, we prepare our own coconut butter, using coconut cream as the only main ingredient, no nasty things, no additives.
