## Ingredients

- 1 whole shredded coconut
- 0 coconut oil

## Instructions

1. Add one whole shredded coconut in a pan and roast it over medium heat, stirring regularly.
2. Once it starts to turn light brown, lower the heat as it's easy to get burned. Keep roasting until the coconut turns dark brown.
3. Blend it with a bit of coconut oil to help it blend smoothly.
4. After the first blend, don't pour out the paste completely. Add the remaining coconut right into the blender.
5. Store it in a glass jar.
