Method
- Put shea butter in a bowl and start whisking. If it is too hard, then melt it just a little.
- It's good if you can get away without doing this as it's easy to over-melt it. Then you'll have to cool it!
- The heat generated from whisking can be enough to melt the shea butter.
- Whisk for ages (30 mins or more), so it's good if you have a machine you can turn on and leave.
- The idea is to get as much air into the shea as possible. Whisk until it is twice the volume and is light and fluffy.
- Pour or spoon into containers while it's still warm. When it cools it will harden but will have a wonderful light texture.
- A nice touch is to use an icing bag to put it into containers.
Note
You can add some carrier oils to the shea butter. No more than 10% though.
