I love nut butters in a banana sandwich, or just slathered on apple slices. Cheers!

I don’t think coconut butter tastes like coconut… it tastes more like shortbread, to me!

I totally understand the issue with food processors in Europe – I was born and lived there for 29 years. However, you should be able to find creamed coconut in blocks in Germany. Check out http://www.alles-vegetarisch.de/Sahne—Ei-Ersatz-Biona-COCONUT-CREAMED-Block–200g-,art-2281. This recipe will work with this ingredient instead of coconut butter – simply warm it up a little to make it a little softer. Hope this helps.

Ah, yes, I’ve seen several bloggers make their own coconut butter that way. Unfortunately, though, I don’t own a food processor. Also, I’m not sure how strong a food processor would have to be for this task (I’m from Europe and therefore can’t get the brands of food processors US bloggers have).

Sünne you can make your own coconut butter. Simply blitz some unsweetened shredded (desiccated) coconut together in a food processor until it comes together. It can take anything up to 12-15 minutes. Failing that, the recipe will also work with the solid blocks of creamed coconut.

Thank you so much for your reply. The coconut butter tastes alot like coconut? Dumb question, im sure it does…… I just want to make something that tastes like chocolate peanutbutter. Oh do I miss that combo! Do you think coconut butter could taste like peanutbutter?

Hi Kapri,
I don’t see why they wouldn’t be nut-free if you just went with the macaroon version… unless coconut counts as a nut. And on that note, my favorite non-nut butter is coconut butter!

Wow! I am sooo impressed and delighted re: the macaroons,but, I am allergic to a million things. So if I follow the recipe w/o chopped nuts, is this totally nut free? Also, since you seem genious on raw and vegan, have you come across a peanut(or any nut for that matter) butter subsitute? I want to try the peanut butter babies but cannot even look at a nut w/o being sick.. Does anyone have a suggestion? It would be so very appreciated!
You Rock! Thank you,
Kapri
