Coconut Butter

Check out this thread for lots of great information in the comments about how to make coconut butter (see source link). Use a wet Vitamix container.

1. Coconut flakes shrink down a LOT during blending. You need at LEAST enough coconut flakes to reduce down to 3 cups of final product. If you have much less than 3 cups of final product, you will have a hard time getting it to blend because an air pocket will form repeatedly, and even the tamper used over and over won't allow the mix to properly flow through the blades. Start with a minimum of 6 cups of coconut flakes.
2. If you are using a 32 oz container, fill it with coconut flakes, blend a bit, then add some more and blend again until you get enough in the container that it can circulate through the blades without forming an air pocket.
3. Coconut flakes vary wildly in how much oil they contain (even between different bags of the same brand). Do not be afraid to use PLENTY of coconut oil if the "manna" isn't blending easily. I've easily used half a cup or more of coconut oil when needed.
4. After the above are taken into consideration, coconut butter is processed a lot like nut butter — use the tamper over and over and over until the mix begins flowing through the blades!
