Bodacious Coconut-Vanilla Body Dessert

By Emily McMullin

An easy-to-make edible body butter – yum!

An easy-to-make edible body butter – yum!

Coconut oil and vanilla bean paste – a simple combination that produces an exotic, sweet-tasting, slippery, aromatic sensation and is sure to please.

Makes approximately ¼ cup

You’ll need:

3 tbsp extra virgin, unrefined coconut oil
2 – 3 tsp vanilla bean paste, sweetened with sugar

Method:

If the coconut oil is hard, set the container in a bowl of hot water for 10 minutes or so until it softens. Place the coconut oil in a very small bowl (a custard cup works well).
Add the vanilla paste and rapidly whisk the two together to blend. Scoop into a little pretty jar and store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to two months – if it lasts that long!
This edible body dessert will harden in the fridge, but the coconut oil will melt easily when it’s massaged into the skin.
Spread it anywhere you want to kiss or be kissed. Your skin will become slightly sticky and very soft.

(Please note, this balm is not latex-friendly)
