Cocoa Vanilla Whipped Body Butter


 I LOVE this stuff!  It's really nourishing to the skin, and smells divine; without all the crazy chemicals.  I store mine in a glass canning jar used for jam. The short wide mouth ones ;)


Directions

1 cup coconut oil

1 cup cocoa butter (I bought food grade cocoa butter to ensure it was 100% pure)  Food Grade Cocoa Butter

A few drops of vanilla essential oil (you can use any essential oil of your choice)

-Melt all ingredients in the microwave or in a pan on the stove top, just until melted. Don't let it get too hot, because it will take longer to whip up. 

-Dump ingredients into a bowl and use an electric mixer, I used my KitchenAid stand mixer. 

-Mix on medium/high. As high as you can go without the liquid     splashing all over the place. 

-Mix for about 10 min, you probably won't see much change. 

-After the 10 min put the bowl in the freezer for 2-5 min

-Mix again on high for 10-20 min until it starts to whip up into a nice fluffy cream. (It will look a little like whipped cream)
 

Store in a nice glass jar and try not to eat it every time you put it on. It really smells THAT GOOD!
