Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

Smooth and velvety in texture with a sweet, nutty, and chocolate flavour.

Spread this rich, creamy nut butter on toast or banana slices for a delicious midday snack!

Ingredients

•          3 tablespoon sugar

•          2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

•          2 tablespoons rapeseed oil

•          1 cup hazelnuts

•          1 1/3 cup milk chocolate, melted

•          1 teaspoon sea salt

•          1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 356°F. Spread hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast, stirring once or twice, until fragrant and browned for about 13 minutes. Wrap warm nuts in a kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove skins. It’s okay if bits of skin remain. Let nuts cool.

STEP 2

Combine nuts, sugar, chocolate, cocoa powder, salt, oil and vanilla in a blender. Secure lid and turn the dial to a slow speed. Slowly increase speed to medium. If needed, stop blending to push down ingredients and stir together. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop blender a few times during blending to scrape sides and bottom of the jar with the tamper to ensure the smoothest result possible.

STEP 3

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
