Ingredients

The following ingredients are necessary to whip up this delightful cocoa butter:

1 cup of cocoa butter, solid
2-3 vanilla beans, split and seeds scraped
1 tablespoon of coconut oil (optional for additional softness)
1-2 teaspoons of essential oil (e.g., lavender or jasmine for added fragrance, optional)
A clean, airtight container for storage

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your own whipped cocoa butter:

Preparation of Cocoa Butter: Begin by chopping the cocoa butter into smaller pieces. This will help it to melt more evenly.
Melting the Butter: In a double boiler, gently melt the cocoa butter over low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t burn.
Infusing Vanilla: Once melted, add the scraped seeds from the vanilla beans into the melted cocoa butter. If you wish to enhance the aroma, you may also include the split beans during this step.
Incorporating Oils: If using coconut oil or any essential oils, add them to the melted mix and stir well to combine.
Cooling: Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly at room temperature. Once cooled to just above room temperature, transfer it to your mixing bowl.
Whipping: Using a hand mixer, whip the cocoa butter mixture until it becomes fluffy and light. This process usually takes about 5-10 minutes.
Storing: Finally, transfer the whipped cocoa butter into a clean, airtight container. Allow it to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a short time.

Your homemade whipped cocoa butter infused with real vanilla beans is now ready to use! This product can be used as a moisturizer for your skin or even as a luxurious addition to your beauty regimen. Enjoy the soothing properties and delightful fragrance every time you use it!
