AuthorElisa BookerTaken from Nina's Recipe - this is so close to butter-tasting it's a bit freaky! You can add garlic in the final stage before chilling to create a garlic butter or any other appropriate flavouring you choose!
Gently melt coconut oil in a pan - once it starts to melt, take it off the heat and allow the rest to melt
Add rapeseed oil once coconut oil has melted, combine and allow to cool to room temp
Pour aquafaba into a narrow container with salt, lemon and vinegar and start blender with immersion blender
*A good tip here is to pop the container onto a bag of frozen peas to keep the mixture cool*
With blender running, add the oil mixture very slowly (around a tsp at a time and ensure oil incorporated before adding more) - takes me about 4-5 mins to add all of the oil.
Once oil added the consistency should be like a traditional mayo
Add into a suitable container and chill in fridge overnight (only cover with a cloth or piece of paper towel - not airtight cover)

Excellent recipe. I modified it with the addition of half teaspoon of lime juice with the vigegar. Also I used an extra 10ml rapeseed oil for a softer butter. I used butter bean (lima bean) aquafaba. The lime juice seems to give a more complex taste very reminiscent of real butter.
