CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT SPREAD
Ingredients
-
1½ cup hazelnuts, skinned
-
1-2 tbsp hazelnut or vegetable oil
-
¾ cup powdered sugar
-
2 tbsp high-quality cocoa powder
-
2 tbsp soy powder
-
¼ tsp vanilla
Instructions
-
Toast hazelnuts in oven (or toaster oven) at 350° for ~20 minutes, tossing them frequently so as not to burn the nuts.
-
While still hot, grind in a blender until nuts break down into nut butter, adding vanilla and a little oil during the blending process.
-
Once a coarse nut butter has been formed, add cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and soy powder, adding more oil as needed.
-
Blend until spread reaches desired consistency.
