Notes
Warm Your Coconut Butter First: If your coconut butter is firm, set the jar in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes so it stirs together easily without a lot of time or effort. I like to use 1 whisk and a hand mixer to mix old coconut butter. Just make sure the jar is only ¾ of the way full and hold the jar tightly to avoid splatter!
