With my love for coffee and all things coffee, coffee butter has been in my list for products to try. I finally purchased some to experiment with, and I was beyond overjoyed and pleased with the final product. This whipped body butter recipe and DIY I share below is rich and yet feels very light on the skin. It is a great moisturizer for the skin. I love this whipped coffee body butter, it is super luxurious, light and fluffy, and smell amazing. I added vanilla and almond fragrance to the already amazing coffee smell of the coffee butter and this combination is absolutely perfect.

Ingredients to make the whipped coffee body butter
- 8 oz coffee butter (I purchase mine at Brambleberry.com)
- .75 oz (3/4 oz) of sweet almond oil (you can use a mix of other great oils like jojoba oil or grapeseed oil)
- 2 tsp of arrowroot powder
- fragrance is optional (I used vanilla and almond for this recipe)
How to make whipped coffee body butter
Place coffee butter in a glass bowl and whip for a minute to cream the butter.
Add the sweet almond oil (or combination of sweet almond oil and jojoba oil) and the fragrance oils if using. Then whip the butter and oils for another 2 to 3 minutes to combine.
The fragrance is optional as the coffee butter already has the perfect coffee aroma. However, you can make this recipe appealing to others that may find the coffee aroma too strong by toning down the coffee aroma with other fragrances. I like simple vanilla, this would have been enough but I added some almond and this took this recipe scent to the next level. I think it is just the perfect combination of scents, very indulgent!
Add the arrowroot powder and continue to whip for 5 to 7 minutes until the body butter is light and fluffy and has the whipped consistency. Keep in mind that with the whipping of the butter it will double in volume, use a large enough bowl for this recipe. (See mine, I had to stop whipping because I almost got it out of the bowl.)
I’ve made this recipe several times and it works just wonderful. I absolutely love it.
Something to keep in mind when making body butters is the temperature in the room. If you are making this recipe in a hot environment, you can put the mix in the refrigerator for a few hours and allow it to cool before whipping it.
How to save the whipped coffee body butter
Transfer the whipped coffee body butter to your favorite container and use as needed. Either glass or plastic container will work. Make sure to use an air tight seal container and it will help with keeping the body butter longer. Keep the body butter in a cool place and use as needed.
Using a piping bag, and piping the body butter in the container makes it look like real icing! The body butter smells delicious, good enough to get anyone confused – just don’t eat it. Its that good!
I absolutely love the way this whipped coffee body butter turned out. I am certain I will make it again very soon! Also, if you are a coffee lover or have a coffee lover in the family you may want to check out the Ultimate List of Gift Ideas for coffee lovers.
I hope you liked this whipped coffee body butter. In keeping with the coffee theme, I made a Turkish Mocha whipped triple butter body butter that you may like to try as well. Another absolutely wonderful body butter that features mango seed butter is my Mango and Avocado body butter. Its rich in vitamins and skin loving properties and a perfect gift for friends and family. Maybe you have heard about kokum butter, it is another great butter full of antioxidants that is perfect for skin care products. Try my Kokum butter body butter recipe and DIY. I hope you like it.

I had to read through to realise I couldn’t eat it – it looks that good !
I really want to eat this one! Piping and the jar and though I don’t drink coffee because the taste is a let down from the fragrance, I eat anything coffee flavored. I am afraid I couldn’t make this one because I could not resist the urge, but bravo for another unique and lovely body butter! Thank you for joining TADA! Thursdays
