Ingredients
- 5 Tablespoons Refined coconut oil Solid state

- 1/8 Teaspoon Sea salt More/less to taste
- OPTIONAL: 1/8 Teaspoon Turmeric For color
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. With whisk attachment, beat on medium speed for about 3-5 minutes, until it looks like custard.

Notes
Be sure to use *refined* coconut oil (jar will say so); if coconut oil is in liquid state, refrigerate until solid state before proceeding with recipe.
Turmeric adds color but is optional.
Start with a small amount of salt and add more based on taste!
Do not use this as a substitute for butter in recipes as the ratio of total fat to saturated fat will not sub well.
