Make It Monday: Whipped Coconut Oil Recipe

In Coconut Oil We Trust!

Most of my followers are so obsessed with coconut oil, and I find myself deliberately looking for recipes to incorporate or highlight this Godly ingredient. I bring you whipped coconut oil.



Tools:
  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • a few drops of your favourite essential oils for fragrance (optional)

Directions:
1. Put all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Note: Do not melt the coconut oil first. It will only whip up if it’s solid. A little below room temperature is ideal

2. Mix on high speed with a wire whisk for 6-7 minutes or until whipped into a light, airy consistency.

3. Spoon the whipped coconut oil body butter into a glass jar and cover tightly. Store at cool place, or in the refrigerator if your house is so warm it melts the oil.
Tip: An electric hand mixer or stand mixer works best. A blender or food processor will not work with this coconut oil recipe, because they tend to warm the oil too much and prevent it from whipping up.

Have a Good Hair Day and remember to Love Your Hair!!!

  1. The shortest recipie ever (lol).

    i have a few questions Kavuli - if you don't mind?

    1. Its getting so hot in Jozi; I suppose you have to keep the whipped coconut in the fridge so it doesn't melt into oil?
    2. if it turns into an oil can it be whipped again- or if i wait for it to solidify will it have the same effect?
    3. what are u using the whipped coconut moisturiser for? your face or hair or both?

    1. Hi Kangopie,

      I love questions! These a good ones as well.

      1. Yes, you would need to keep it in the fridge if it's hot where you are.
      2. It can be re-whipped if it liquifies again.
      3. I'm using this for my hair. If I were to use it on my face, I would probably skip the essential oil because of sensitivity. You can use it all over the body though.

      Thanks for the support and the question.
