Vickys Easy Homemade Margarine, Gluten, Dairy, Egg & Soy-Free
- 240 ml extra light olive oil
- 120 ml grapeseed oil
- 90 grams (give or take) deodorised cocoa butter (means the chocolate smell has been removed)
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Pour the grapeseed oil and half of the olive oil into a measuring jug so you have 240mls / 8 fluid ounces / 1 cup measuring
- Add the cocoa butter in until the liquid reaches 360mls /12 fluid ounces / 1.5 cups
- Add the rest of the oil into the jug and melt the cocoa butter into the oil either by microwaving in 30 second bursts or over a low heat bain marie
- Once melted, add the lemon juice and salt and using an electric whisk, whip it up for 2 minutes until it turns a paler colour
- Pour into a container with a lid and chill in the fridge until solid
- This is fab for frying and I made a banana loaf and a batch of shortbread using it today instead of the usual sunflower spread I buy and they both came out fantastic!
- I wouldn't use it on a sandwich as it tastes a bit oily on it's own but for cooking and baking it worked great!
- It would actually be a good idea to set it in ice cube trays instead of a large tub like I did, then you can just pop out cubes as required.
- If I'd thought of it before that's what I would've done
olive oil, grapeseed oil, deodorised cocoa butter, lemon juice, salt
