Coconut Butter Glaze (Paleo)

Equipment
- 1 small microwave safe bowl
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut butter
- 3 tbsp. pure maple syrup
- 1-3 tsp. plain almond milk (to thin) (or other non-dairy milk)
Instructions
- In a microwave safe dish, microwave the coconut butter for 15-30 seconds, or until slightly melted and creamy.
- Stir the softened coconut butter until smooth and then mix in the maple syrup (this will thicken the glaze). Add almond milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach a drizzle-able glaze consistency.
- Use immediately, as it will thicken as it cools.
Notes
- Measuring coconut butter can be tricky since it's solid at room temperature. To measure, scoop out chunks of butter and place in measuring cup. Lightly pack to reach ½ cup.
- For a more drizzle-able consistency, add more milk. Use less milk for a more spreadable consistency.
- Any plain/unsweetened non-dairy milk works. If not needing this to be Paleo, you can use cow's milk.
- I have used this to pipe over cookies, but I don't recommend using this to frost an entire cake or cupcakes.
- This recipe makes enough to drizzle over roughly 18 cookies.
- I use Artisana coconut butter in this recipe.
