It is possible to buy coconut butter at the store, and that may provide a more reliable consistency. I imagine you could also use firm virgin coconut oil in place of the coconut butter. The first time I tried to make coconut butter, I used unsweetened dried coconut I got from the bulk section of my grocery store, and it was particularly dry. It took almost 10 minutes in the food processor to get into anything remotely 'creamy'. I tried again with a slightly less dry bagged coconut and had better results.Ms. Pleasanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389446616715605426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487623681993332118.post-80859896214549177892010-11-16T18:49:07.837-05:002010-11-16T18:49:07.837-05:00I just tried to make this and it turned out abysma...I just tried to make this and it turned out abysmally. The cake was okay, not fabulous. But the frosting was the real disappointment. I tried making the coconut butter as the recipe instructs, but it never turned into anything remotely creamy--just little coconut bits. Thus the texture of the icing was just gritty and weird.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631371929869606979noreply@blogger.com
