Dairy Free Lemon Butter
Don’t you just love homemade lemon butter? The tangy, creamy, sweetness goes so well with a thick slice of homemade bread, hot out of the oven, used to fill tart cases, or just eaten off a spoon… Yum! I use honey in place of sugar, and coconut oil for a dairy free version. (If you can have butter, feel free to use that instead of coconut oil.) Try it with lime, too – it’s delicious!
Lemon Butter made with Rapadura
2014-07-20 09:02:41
Ingredients
- 60g Rapadura or 50g honey
- juice of 1 lemon
- 80g coconut oil or butter or ghee
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Grind rapadura for 30 seconds on speed 9 (if using).
- Scrape down sides with spatula, insert butterfly, and add remaining ingredients.
- Cook 8 mins/80C/speed 3.
- The lemon butter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Pour into a clean jar and keep in the fridge.
Notes
- I like to refrigerate overnight, then reblend on speed 5 until smooth and creamy. Delicious!

I have no idea how long this will last – it never lasts more than a few days at our house, because it goes quickly!
How interesting! I just made passionfruit butter. yummm
Do you have a recipe you could share for passionfruit butter?
Just finished whipping up a batch of this gorgeous lemon butter. I used ghee and rapadura (no stevia in the house yet) and it’s just lovely. I see what you mean about lemon and rapadura Jo….you end up with a wonderful citrus almost lightly caramel flavour. Delish! Thanks for posting the recipe!

Jo could you use coconut butter in this in place of the oil/ghee/butter?
Hi Jo thanks for the recipe, i have stevia blend at home (with erythritol so no bitter aftertaste)1gm is 2 tablespoons sugar. Can i use this instead of the rapadura or does the lemon sugar need the bulk? thanks much appreciated.
Putting this on my must try list once I get my Thermomix back from its service. Our family is still so excited after we made your Strawberry Jam last week!
Hi Jo! Does it really need the stevia?
I just mixed a tablespoon of this with Greek Yoghurt and added blue berries and raspberries! it was delis!
Could I use coconut sugar instead of Rapadura sugar?
What if I don’t have a thermomix? Can I just use the stove?
Hello Jo,
I am allergic to eggs and dairy but would like to try this butter.
What can I use as an egg replacer?
Thanks
I just made this with the honey and butter options, it was lucky to make it to the fridge to chill and set. It’s crazy good!
OMG!! I am in heaven! I understand why it doesn’t last!
I just made this with a combination of butter & ghee (because I didn’t have enough butter), egg yolks & lemon zest. It didn’t all fit in the jar I had prepared so I had to eat the leftover potion. I have scraped the bowl clean! ???????? Next batch I’ll make with coconut oil. Thanks for a great recipe.????
You are most welcome:-). So glad you loved it!!!
This is just delicious, I’ve made it so so many times and everyone loves it (I love giving it away as a present too).
Aaaaand today I’ve had a light bulb moment as I was browsing your dessert recipes from the life changing book. I’ve made a batch and turned it into little jellies.
I would’ve loved to send you a photo or even just take one but they were completely gone within half an hour! Hubby, the 3 year old and the 1 year old devoured them so quickly, I only got two little tasters myself ???????? Delicious!
Woohoo! So good to hear the family approves Claudia! Yum, I bet those jellies turned out great 🙂
Love this recipe. Perfect amount, easy to whip up.
Absolutely delicious!!
