Also I forgot to say that if it split that would be because of heat. High powered blenders get hot. You can make and heat soup in them. You need to blend until the mixture is completely smooth but you need to take measures to keep the mixture cool, either by blending in short bursts or lowering the speed. Hope that helps.

It should be completely smooth. A high-powered blender should have no issues. Is your Vitamix jug huge? It could be that there's not enough for it to blend efficiently. If you think that's the case try doubling the recipe. It freezes well so there's no rush to use it all.

I tried this recipe twice and as everyone has agreed... the taste was bang on! I had a few issues with the texture though, so I thought I'd pop my questions here. The first time I made it in a standard blender... nothing fancy... and the almond flour didn't seem fully incorporated. The texture wasn't totally smooth, but I chalked that up to the blender being ten years old. The next time I made it in a Vitamix. I gave it a good whirl (probably a minute or so) but that time it split... ugh. I'm about to give it another go in the Vitamix... there isn't a smoothie setting but it's pretty heavy duty. Anybody out here know exactly how long to let 'er rip? Or, if the butter just has texture and that's that? If so, it's still delicious, but I'd hate to miss out on any creaminess due to my own human error. Thanks so much!!

In reply to Jane.

Jane,
You can get the solid-ish refined (tasteless) coconut oil at Chemist Warehouse (and you can purchase online and have it delivered from them). I know it's too late for your daughter's birthday but hopefully this helps for the future.

Melanie was very sweet to reply to you, but I found your comment to be very disrespectful. You could have asked about the herbs without telling her that you were going to rub it on a dead animal. The site is called A Virtual Vegan for a reason.

Thanks for the reply and the tips. I will definitely give it a try.

I haven't tried to make puff pastry with it but I have made croissants and it worked great. Just be sure to keep everything really cold. I try to work on a silicone baking mat so that when the dough gets a bit warm, I can easily pick it up, sit it on a baking tray and pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes. Hope that helps!

Will this butter work in puff pastry?
I know from French cook that vegan butter for such pastry should be in stick and contains more than 30% fat which I haven't found in Québec.
Did you try to make puff pastry with your recipe?
Have a good day!
Laëtitia

This is by far the BESTEST Vegan Butter recipe and the only one I use for nearly 2 years now as everytime I make it, it comes out PERFECTLY! I tried many many other Vegan butter recipes, which I thought were the best until making them several times and having to throw out and remake some batches, wasting ingredients, as often would not fully solidfy, or separate, etc. I use your receipe all the time as make several batches in advance & freeze the butter sticks. I use my Blendtec Blender and pour velvety mixture into either 1/2 Cup or 1 Cup Souper Cubes silicone molds as no guessing when needed for recipes & place in freezer until solid. I then remove the butter sticks from the molds and wrap in either wax paper or foil, and then vacuum package & seal in a vacuum channel bag (have a Nesco sealer machine) so I always have butter sticks on hand. I buy Almond Flour ahead and in keep in fridge. One adjustment I did switch to, is that I use Soy Milk Powder (mix it with water according to the directions to equal amount in your recipe) instead of Soy Milk to equal measurements in the recipe. Only listed some details in case helps someone else. Your recipe is PERFECT. I know you cannot use it for frying, but that's not an issue for me. Blessings & Have A Great Day!

Hi Clare - where did you find your super fine almond flour?
