Description

Ingredients

• 200g hazelnuts
• 50g coconut oil
• 2 tbsp nut milk, such as almond
• 3-4 tbsp 100% cocoa powder
• 3 tbsp xylitol or sweetener of choice (alternatively, 5-6 dates should do the trick)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

• Roast your hazelnuts in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for ca 10 minutes until the skins start to come off. You could also do this step in a pan (no oil) on a low heat.
• Once the nuts are cooled, channel your inner hunter-gatherer and rub them between your palms to remove the skins.
• Blend all ingredients in a food processor or the attachment of a stick blender until smooth. Adjust sweetener/cocoa if necessary. Add more nut milk if you like a runnier consistency.
• This spread is more liquid than Nutella if kept at room temperature. I always keep it in the fridge. If you, however, plan to have it with ice-cream (just a thought), Id keep it outside to make it just right for drizzling!
