Vegan Butter
Surprisingly, vegan butter is super easy to make at home. It just takes a few oil-based ingredients and a bowl to mix them in!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond milk or soy milk unsweetened
- 1/2 lemon for juicing
- 1 cup refined coconut oil melted
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/16 teaspoon turmeric powder
Instructions
- Add the juice of 1/2 of a lemon to the plant-based milk. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes to separate.
- Melt the coconut oil, but let it sit for a few minutes to come down from a hot temperature to more tepid/warm.
- In a medium bowl, combine the coconut oil, avocado oil, coconut cream, salt and turmeric. Pour in the plant-based milk mixture and quickly begin to whisk everything together.
- Whisk for a few minutes (longer than you think!) until the mixture is smooth, emulsified and a pale yellow color.
- Cover this mixture and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, whisk again, and let the mixture sit for another 20 minutes.
- By the end of the second 20 minutes, the mixture should be smooth and creamy. Move it to the storage container of your choice and store in the fridge. Use within 5-7 days!
