So clearly I'm going through a phase of experimenting with vegan or plant-based cooking, and I wanted to share. There are many reasons why someone might not want to eat dairy, or butter - everything from doctor's orders, taste to lifestyle commitment. As such it is good to have a recipe for a great alternative, especially if on top of that you want to stay away from canola oil, soybean oil, etc.

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup almond milk

• 4 tsp soy lecithin

 

Steps:

1. Warm up coconut oil in a bain-marie to make more usable.

 
2. Add all ingredients together.

 
3. Mix all ingredients in a blender for around a minute. Line a container with wax paper to store the vutter/putter.

4. Put in the fridge. It will harden and will remain hard as long as it's kept in the fridge.
