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.
