OUR GO-TO RECIPE
1. In Pitcher #1, chop 9 oz of Cocoa Wafers into small pieces and heat them up in the microwave using 30 second intervals. Once they are softened, smush them with your spatula or a bamboo spoon. The consistency must be semi-soft and similar to the Monoi Oil. Once you achieve this consistency, add in 6 oz of Monoi Oil and mix both ingredients until they are fully combined.
Maker Tip 1: When softening the wafers, the cooler they are, the better they will perform.
Maker Tip 2: Use a Hand Mixer instead of the wand blender, otherwise no whip consistency will be achieved.
2. In Pitcher #2, add 10 oz of Shea Butter and make sure to break apart any large chunks. Then, add in your blend of Cocoa Wafers and Monoi Oil and mix everything together until they are fully combined.
3. Add in 0.2 oz of Geogard and mix it thoroughly into your formula.
4. Use a Hand Mixer to start whipping your butters for about a minute. Check the consistency to make sure there are no large chunks.
5. Once your mixture is smooth, slowly add 1.8 oz of Arrowroot Powder to avoid forming clumps. Continue to mix your formula until you have added all of the Arrowroot Powder and the mixture is fully combined. Remember to scrape the sides using a spatula to integrate everything. This should take about 2-3 minutes, or until you have achieved your desirable consistency.
6. Carefully pour your creamy formula into your Frosted Glass Jars and let them sit and cool to avoid condensation. Once cooled, secure them with Bamboo Lids and let them sit for 24 hours before using.
7. When you’re ready, simply apply the butter to your skin and enjoy the soothing benefits of your delightfully dreamy creation.
