Love the recipe but had a problem. My food processor has a puree function with a limited amount of time so I kept running it until the coconut turned to liquid. When I tasted it, the texture was sand. Did I not run it long enough? Again, it was liquid and I poured it out of the processor. As a side note, as an experiment, I took some of the sandy liquid and added freshly ground almond butter. It was a divine taste but the texture was like wet sand, not pleasant. What should the texture be and what should it look like? Thank you!

Hi Angela,

I saw on a different website discussing coconut and it used desiccated and shredded interchangeably so in my opinion it’s worth a try. Good luck! N

Hi! That is an interesting idea. I’m really not sure without trying it first.

For those who have tried it –> Would you recommend skimping out on the nuts? Or does it taste better with the nuts?

For Kate –> How long will coconut butter keep in the pantry, in an airtight container?

Thanks!!!!

Yes, I think that will work, or you could just leave out the nuts altogether.

Thanks for commenting, Julia! I’m really glad you enjoyed the coconut butter.
