From Miyoko Schinner

Ingredients

• ¾ cup refined coconut oil, melted but not hot
• 1 cup avocado oil, cold
• ½ cup soy milk, cold
• ½ tsp salt to taste

Instructions

1. Heat coconut oil in 20 to 30-second increments, stirring after each round.

2. Pour the avocado oil into a container and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least three hours. It should be cold but still liquid.

3. Add the 2 oils to a tall jug or container, then use an immersion blender to combine them for about 30 seconds.

4. Pour in the cold plant milk and add the salt. Blend again until the mixture thickens and looks like mayonnaise. This usually takes about two minutes.

5. Transfer the mixture to your storage container. Place it in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. As it chills, it will firm up into a spreadable vegan butter.

6. Once set, it is ready to use anywhere you would normally use butter.
