description
Coconut butter is a rich plant-based cream and can be easily prepared in the home with only two ingredients. It is a vegan alternative to butter and is also used by those who are intolerant to lactose.
preparation
step 1
Pour water and coconut into a pot and put it on medium-flame fire. Turn it up with a spoon until it starts to simmer. Then remove the pot from the fire and let it cool.
step 2
Place a colander on a container and filter the coconut pulp by pouring it a little at a time. Press with a spoon to extract all the liquid part. Put aside the coconut that is left to filter it afterwards
step 3
After extracting the entire liquid part, you have to filter the remaining pulp a second time. Put the coconut in a canvas and squeeze it with your hands.
step 4
You will still get a lot of liquid out of it, so I recommend filtering it twice. Then cover the container with the coconut extract and leave it in the fridge from 5 to 8 hours.
step 5
During these hours the fat part of the coconut extract will separate from the liquid part forming the layer of butter on the surface.
step 6
After the time has elapsed, remove the butter from the bowl with a teaspoon and store it in a container.
step 7
What you get is the coconut butter, and you can keep it in the fridge for 4 or 5 days.
