We’ve played around with making our own plant based butter many times but never quite got it right, using shea butter, cacao butter but it never just seemed to be right. Recently I saw a video online and thought I’m going to try this. Miso in butter might sound crazy but it really works. Lecithin is an emulsifier that binds the milk and the coconut oil together to form that wonderful creamy taste. It melts like butter and tastes like butter!

Takes 10 minutes
Serves 400
Ingredients
- 150 ml plant milk Happy Pear Oat Milk
- 200 ml coconut oil (odourless so there is no coconut flavour)
- 1 tbsp white miso
- 2 tbsp lecithin (we used soy)
- 1 juice lemon
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Put the coconut oil in a saucepan on high heat and melt it. Add all ingredients to a blender along with the melted coconut oil and blend till super smooth, you want to ensure the lecithin has fully broken down and you have a super smooth liquid. Dont worry it will be runny but once it sets it will be like butter. Pour it into a large bowl or else a few butter bowls.
- Leave to set overnight in the fridge.
- Take it out of the fridge and enjoy!
