Yes, I've determined (through making many batches) that as long as you keep adding coconut oil, you can get any brand of unsweetened, dried coconut flakes (or shreds) to end up as Coconut Butter.Since it is the coconut oil that I'm after (for the health benefits) I am liberal with the coconut oil, and it is the coconut flakes that give it the awesome flavor/texture that comes with coconut bites.

I used some fresh coconut I had. (Looks like a pencil eraser.)

Actually smoother than my almond butter.

Easy to get out of the container.

Ah, I see. Interesting choice (fresh coconut vs. dried).For those who want to see the original recipe (and didn't follow the link the first time it was posted - like me) here is the original recipe:and here is the link again: http://paleomg.com/pecan-coconut-butter/Pecan Coconut Butter4.5 from 2reviewsPrintIngredients1 (7oz) bag of coconut flakes1 cup pecans2-3 tablespoons almond oil (or coconut oil or walnut oil, etc.–some kind of nut oil will do)1 tablespoon raw honey1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 teaspoon salt (I used coarse sea salt-gives it a little more crunch!)InstructionsGrab your handy dandy food processor!! Don’t have one? You’re dumb. CHRISTMAS PRESENT IDEA!! (of course the Vitamix will do a faster, better job :-)Throw in your coconut flakes and turn your food processor on for 3-5 minutes or until coconut flakes and pulsed down and you have a creamy coconut butter. Sometimes the flakes are just a little different and you’ll get more of a chunky butter so either try pulsing it for a bit longer or don’t worry about it too much, you will be adding lots more stuff so it’s not a huge deal.Add in your pecans and turn your food processor back on until pecans are completely pulsed down.Now while your food processor is running, start slowly adding your oil until it is to your preferred consistency. I like mine a bit more chunky than totally oily but it’s up to you.Now while the food processor is STILL running, add your vanilla, salt and honey to it as well.Mix until well combined. Add a bit more oil if needed.Eat. I eat mine with a spoon but you can always eat it with fruit if need be.Notes*Store in refrigerator. Your pecan coconut butter will harden up (just like coconut oil does) so if you want it softer, put in microwave for a little to soften it up.I used up my last batch of coconut butter (made during my last show, so it was not in "bite" form :-) so today is coconut butter "bit" or "bite" making day. I'm going to do a batch with roasted pecans...Blessings,Lea Ann SavageSatellite Beach, FL(321) 773-7088 (home)(321-961-9219 (cell)))><'>www.VitamixLady.comwww..com<))><

where do you get 'fresh coconut?" I almost lacerate my wrists trying to dig the meat out of a fresh coconut.

February 3, 2012

I think this recipe would be much better with dried coconut. As Tony said, fresh will be kind of like a jelly and not as much like a nut butter.I use a hammer and break the shell into smaller pieces, then I pry the coconut meat away from the brown shell. Then, I use a food processor to shred the coconut meat. Then, I either dehydrate it, or use it to make coconut milk. http://www.thenaughtyvegan.com/coconutmilk.htm (no need to pre-shred like they do in this article if you are making coconut milk - just put the raw coconut chunks in the VM with the water).

With fresh coconut, recipes also have a much shorter shelf life, usually only staying good for 3-5 days depending how much sweetener is used. ---------------------Rene Oswald, RN, APHBest Beginnings, Inc. Living Food Classes & Consultationswww.rawfoodrene.comwww.reneoswald.com561-775-4867From: Lea

So yes, you can do it with dry coconut.

Tony - please report what the texture is like when you use fresh - sounds interesting to me!

I don't know my way around NH and I hear so much crime there on the news that it never interested me to go there. I did see some fresh coconuts at the grocery store I go to in N. Madison. That's a lot closer to me. But I've never tried that yet.

I try to avoid towns that force me to pay to park.

At least it's not downtown so free parking.

Re: OMG Pecan Coconut butter

where do you get 'fresh coconut?" I almost lacerate my wrists trying to dig the meat out of a fresh coconut.

I will definately be trying that. I noticed dry packages of organic

coconut at the local Sunrise health Food store last time I was

there. They had been out for a while, and I don't have enough on

hand. But those bites look wonderful.

Hey Velda,

The coconut bites in these pictures that are a bit on the

brown side were made with almonds and coconut flakes…

So yes, you can do it with dry coconut.

Do you use the regular or dry container for the coconut bites?

Hi Velda,

The coconut isn't hard enough (IMO) to scratch your container and it will not

create the sucking/heating motion necessary to make coconut butter. For

example… put almonds in the dry container and it makes almond meal, put them in

the wet container and it will make almond butter (eventually).

Think of the dry container as fluffing and smashing things up and the wet

container and heating/packing/pulling down. You want to mix the coconut and

release its oil. If you tamp enough, you can even make coconut butter out of

the dried coconut flakes with no added oil (assuming that they weren't REALLY

dry like Bob's Red Mills) to start with.
