DIY Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
This chocolate Hazelnut spread is a great treat to have on hand. It satisfy's my craving when I want something chocolaty or I want good fats and makes eating my apple slices that much more fun.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain hazelnuts
- 2-3 tbsp raw cacao powder adjust based on how chocolaty you want it
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- pinch fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp coconut oil only if you choose the soaking method
Instructions
- Either soak nuts with 1 cup of filtered water for 2-4 hours or place them on a baking sheet at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes (choice of method explained above)
- Process all ingredients in a food processor or high-powered blender until well combined, smooth and creamy (remember only add the coconut oil if you used the soaking method). The roasted nuts take about 5-8 minutes and the soaked nuts can take 8-12 minutes.
