In my never ending quest to add coconut oil to DH's diet, we have some of this:
Vegan Butter
1 cup coconut milk
1 TBSP ACV
1 tsp salt
Stir together and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to 'curdle'.
Add:
1-3/4 cup refined coconut oil
3 TBSP canola oil (or mild tasting oil of your choice)
2 TBSP soy lecithin (or 1TBSP of sunflower lecithin)
optional: a pinch of tumeric to make it yellow.
Mix in blender or Magic Bullet until it's the consistency of soft butter. Will keep in the frig for a couple of weeks.
My notes from the two times I've made this:
I make half a recipe at a time which is still plenty, yields about a cup and a half. That way it fits in my Magic Bullet cup.
I use unsweetened, dried coconut to make coconut milk.
Refined coconut oil has no coconut flavor.
I do use the canola oil, but buy non GMO from Azure. I may try it with grapeseed oil next.
This will be white unless you add the tumeric.
It hardens like real butter in the frig, melts on hot toast and actually is a decent sub for butter. Supposedly you can use it like butter in recipes, too.
