Coconut cream concentrate (also sometimes called coconut butter) is an incredibly tasty and filling way to get in your healthy fats from coconut! In essence, coconut cream concentrate or coconut butter is like a coconut version of peanut butter.

Coconut flesh is blended at high speeds to create a creamy, buttery consistency. It is dense, filling, and packed with protein and beneficial fats.

It is super easy to make and can be flavored with cocoa powder, nuts, dried fruit, etc. for yummy variations. If you like coconut at all, this is a great way to enjoy it!

Coconut Cream Ingredients

  • dried, unsweetened shredded coconut or coconut flakes
  • coconut oil
  • optional flavorings including: real vanilla extract, chopped nuts, raisins, cocoa powder, chia seeds
  • food processor or high powered blender (I use a Vitamix)
  • honey, maple syrup, or stevia for sweetness (optional)

    Just made this and I added the tiniest sprinkling of coconut palm sugar. It turned out creamy but liquidy. I assume that since there’s coconut oil in there, it will solidify?
    Do you think this would be good to add to your butter/coconut oil/coffee mix? I think I’m going to try that!!

      IT should thicken… it would probably be great in the coffee…

    What went wrong????? I have been looking forward to making this for the first time since I’ve heard of this supposed “Heaven on Earth” (as described by many).I followed the easy directions using my Cuisinart FP and added vanilla ex. to the recommended Trop. Trad. dried shredded coco. I have always loved coconuts and coconut water and had high hopes for this, but the taste of this to me is sort of a DRY/GRITTY/ROASTED NUT taste (though it did liquify beautifully). Is THIS what its supposed to taste like??

      It is more of a peanut butter/thick texture than a creamy butter like texture…

      I had originally started making coconut butter in my Breville Sous-Chef FP, but took 10 minutes and was still a little bit grainy. That was the original recipe I followed from Pinterest. I started using my Vitamix and it only took a fraction of the time and came out much creamier. It’s important to make a large enough quantity to get it blending. In the wide bottom 64oz container I fill to somewhere between the 24-32 oz mark. Use tamper until it gets very soft and let process till creamy.

    Thank you SO much for this recipe!! I was really wanting to buy some Coconut cream concentrate from tropical traditions to make some goodies for my kids this month and then I saw the price eeek! This is SO much more affordable, especially since I just stocked up on shredded coconut last night for 2.39 a bag! Can’t wait to try this, your a life saver!

    I make this in my thermomix, takes three minutes and with the use of heat (37 celcius) I don’t need to add the coconut oil. By the time it is finished processing it is pourable, but extremely thick. I keep this out of the fridge because once it cools it is solid. I haven’t added any flavours before but now I will because it is a perfect treat, with the natural sweetness of the coconut, to make me feel like I’ve indulged.

    Oh how lovely!!  Do you use the wet blender jar or the dry blender jar of the vita mix to do this?

    Ohmygoodness thank you! I’ll be traveling a lot with my school this year & no one else eats Paleo so I’m always on the hunt for shelf stable foods and I bring along. Thank you!
