Deliciousness in a Mason jar.
Well over a month ago, I was doing my best to create something delicious when the clouds parted and the heavens spoke in the most commanding and divine voice, “Julie….. Make Chocolate Coconut Almond Butter…… Eat it with a spoon…… If you make it, it will be devoured”
I listened to that voice and created a jar full of goodness. It is like Almond Joy Almond Butter! Heck to the yes! Can I get an Amen?!
Chocolate Coconut Almond Butter
- 1 1/2 c. almonds
- 2 Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp coconut extract (I would even go heavier because I’m a HUGE coconut fan!)
- 2-3 droppers of stevia extract (or other sweetener of your choice)
- 1 Tbsp. Dark Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 tsp. ground sea salt
- 1/4 c. unsweetened coconut shreds/flakes
Put almonds in food processor and let them grind away. Grind approximately 12 minutes. till it reaches a buttery consistency. You will need to scrape down the sides several times in those 12- 15 minutes before it reaches the buttery consistency. (I used raw nuts but I know that most people roast them for 10′ish minutes). Add coconut oil, vanilla, coconut extract, stevia extract, sea salt, and cocoa powder. Process till smooth. Finally add coconut shreds and pulse till it is mixed into the almond butter.Put in Mason jar. Enjoy!

Stop it. I can’t handle how amazing this looks and how badly I want to lick that mason jar clean!!!! I’ve had a jar of coconut oil sitting in my cabinet forever because I’ve had no clue what to make with it…. NOW I KNOW!!!! You are a genius.
It is seriously better than I could have imagined. It turned out great and I just love a spoon full every single day!
Yum! Although I’m not a huge fan of coconut, this looks pretty fantastic!
I kind of wish I didn’t have such a huge coconut addiction. It has made me miss Malibu these past few months but it is SO worth it.
Oh wow this sounds amazing, yet dangerous! I think I would eat the whole batch in one sitting!
It is better than I could have ever imagined. I love that it tastes like a specialty butter and expensive but I made it myself and it didn’t cost an arm and a leg! SCORE!
Haha! So glad that you listened to that voice because this looks delicious!! Now that I’m trying to eat more healthy fats, I could definitely see myself whipping up a batch of this goodness when my chocolate peanut butter stash runs out
I too am trying to get in some healthy fats and I love this addition each and every day. You should make it, you won’t regret it!
I love almond joy!! This sounds soooo yummy
It is seriously better than I could have imagined!
Oh my gosh. That is DEADLY! <3 <3 <3
Um YUMMY! I am so making this, I love all the ingredients and to blend them together, genius! Thank you for this one.
Julie, this looks like just the thing for a pregnant woman! And for those of us who aren’t.
Congratulations and best wishes on a healthy, peaceful pregnancy and birth! Your life will never be the same and you will be so very blessed!!! I look forward to following your progress!
It is perfect for a pregnant woman….and for any woman that likes chocolate or coconut!
Thank you so much for you kind words, Lynne! We feel so blessed and I am so thankful that the husband and I will get to be on the journey to growing our family. I’m such a lucky girl.
That looks amazing!! I want to just go home and eat that with a spoon!
Right off the spoon is THE BEST way to eat it, if I do say so myself!
YUM!!!!! Oh my gosh that looks so good!!!!! I just got a sample of chocolate coconut butter, and it has me hooked on the combo!
It is a must try! So stinking wonderful! ….best eaten off a spoon if I do say so myself.
This looks so good! I’ve been obsessed with coconut flavors lately…and could definitely go for some of this
I made a chocolate almond butter not too long ago and added fresh blueberries to it…mostly because they were about to go bad. Such an awesome surprise success!
Coconut is my FAVORITE! I just can’t get enough of this stuff! ….Oh, a blueberry addition, I bet that was yummy too!
Almond joy in a jar?! Holy moly, girl, this looks amazing. Almond Joys are my favorite, so I must try this!
It is absolutely delicious! ….It is something I don’t want to run out of, that is for sure!
um YUM girl…looks amazing! Hope you and baby are fabulous!

OMG i must make this! Sounds and looks ah-mazing!! Perfect combination
yummy
Love the belly bump pic from last post, so cute! The almond butter looks great, I need to start making my own again. I’ve gotten lazy!
Every time I’ve tried to make nut butter my food processor has smoked profusely and I’ve stopped because I was too afraid I’d set it on fire, haha.
