'raw coconut butter'

Submitted by nicaraw on November 11, 2008 - 3:03pm.

interesting! and it looks as if you have a raw oil, too. although, when i've tried this, it seems to turn rancid quite quickly if not refrigerated.

i'll share a little recipe i use for making 'raw coconut butter' using my centrifugal juicer:
1. make coco milk with a vegetable juicer yielding pure coco milk. my machine yields about 1 cup coco milk from a large coconut.
2. put in fridge/keep cool overnight/8 hours. cream rises to the top.
3. scoop out cream and use 'as-is' or
4. put it in a jar with lid and shake it up (churn)
5. pour off the liquid that separates (is this the whey?) and what remains is raw butter! it tastes like a cool, creamy cloud!
6. optional: you can boil the butter to make oil, but the yield is discouraging - about 1 tablespoon oil per coconut - which is consistent with the yields i witnessed on Little Corn Island, Nicaragua.
