I started making my own coconut butter several years ago. I have used the coconut butter in many recipes including pie crusts, biscuits, cookies, and puff pastry. All have turned out really well. The recipe I use is from veganbaking.net. They have several types of vegan butter recipes and the one I use is the coconut oil based. You need a few uncommon ingredients such as liquid lecithin and psyllium husk powder. I use sunflower lecithin for the recipe. Once you the ingredients it is fairly easy to make and so much more economical than purchasing at the store. I bought the silicone mold they suggest also since each section is equivalent to a stick. It makes measurement in recipes super easy. I also make six sticks at a time and keep the extra in the freezer.
