Prep Time10 minutes
Total Time10 minutes
Servings: 1 cup

Ingredients

  • 4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  • Pour the shredded coconut into the bowl of your food processor fitted with the standard food processing blade, and turn on, letting the processor work the coconut into a liquid puree. This will probably take about 10 minutes (possibly more depending on your processor).
  • Pause the processor a few times to scrape down any unprocessed coconut that gets stuck on the sides and to let the processor cool a little bit.
  • When the puree is smooth enough to your liking, or as smooth as your processor can make it, pour the warm liquid puree into clean jars. Leave out on the counter to cool and solidify, and then store in the cupboard. Enjoy!
