#OldFashioned #Whipped #BodyButter #Recipe #Revamped
(This recipe has been adapted from the #traditional #churning by hand directions and old fashioned cooling methodology to todays' simpler quick process.)
Ingredients:
¼ cup #CocoaButter
½ cup #CoconutOil
¾ cup #SheaButter
½ cup #EFA aka #EssentialFattyAcid #CarrierOil such as #Jojoba, #Grapeseed, #Olive, or #SweetAlmondOil
10-30 Drops #EssentialOil/Oils of Your Preference
5 Drops of #VitaminEOil (Antioxidant and Natural Preservative)
Directions
Melt the Cocoa Butter, #Coconut Oil and Shea Butter in a double boiler over medium heat, stirring occasionally. If using a microwave oven, cover bowl with dry wax paper to prevent splattering. It will take about 3 minutes depending in the microwave until butter/oil compound is completely melted into a liquid oil, stirring every 45 seconds with a spatula.
Add the EFA Carrier Oil of your preference (I used #SweetAlmondOil) and stir until well blended.
Add 10-30 drops Essential Oil of Your Preference (I used #SweetAlmondEssentialOil) until scent reaches the desired intensity and stir until well blended.
Remove from heat and/or microwave, Add the 5 Drops of Vitamin E Oil and stir until well blended.
Let stand and cool slightly.
Cover the bowl loosely and place it into the freezer for about 20-30 minutes until mixture starts to partially solidify. If it does not chill properly it will not whip up correctly.
Using a hand blender/mixer or an electric hand bender/mixer, whisk the butter/oil contents for about 10 minutes or until it is a creamy smooth consistency, ex. resembling whipping cream.
Transfer the whipped butter mixture to an air-tight #glass container such as a #BormioliRocco #Fido 0.5 L/500 mL #canning / #storagejar or a #BPAfree #plasticcontainer and place it into the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes until the compound sets firmly.
Remove it from the refrigerator and store it in a cool dry place below 70°F or 21.11°C.
Note: It doesn't have to be refrigerated due to its #antiseptic qualities which help prevent rancidification, inhibit the growth and development of microorganisms, hence, prolongs its stored shelf life.
Made with wholesome ingredients and a lot of love, for my coworkers on Sunday morning, inventory day. I thought I would bring a treat to get our day started right!
Ingredients include: a big loaf of organic raisin & cinnamon bread from Farrell's, turbinado sugar (aka "sugar in the raw") & pure maple syrup, fresh eggs, coconut milk and organic whole milk, extra virgin coconut oil and butter, and a special sauce made with butterscotch schnapps. :)
I went off this recipe and added my substitutions:
Why coconut oil?

It's been a pretty uneventful day. I went to work for a whole 1.5 hours and then we left early because of the awesome weather we're having.
This ice cream may be vegan but that doesn't mean it isn't bowl licking amazingly delicious. Who doesn't like a big bowl of chocolate cherry ice cream that's good for you too?

Sugar-less, wheat-less, butter-less, egg-less...so what else is left of these cookies?! The good stuff, apparently. Carnival cookies from 101 Cookbooks' Super Natural Cooking are packed with dark chocolate, cacao nibs, popcorn, and peanuts. All held together with a mixture of banana, coconut oil, oat, and ground almond.
Yes, vegan.

Decided to try my hand at making soap (ok, I got the idea in my head a few weeks ago and have been obsessing about it since). This is my first batch ever! Fingers crossed it turns out ok. It's currently sitting wrapped in a towel on the counter. I'll be able to unmold it in a day or two! Woooo!
