Equipment
- Food Processor
- Oven
- Baking Tray
Ingredients
- 300 g Hazelnuts You can also sub for hazelnut butter, to skip having to roast and blend the hazelnuts.
- 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
- 2-4 tbsp Xylitol or Erythritol If you have a dog, do not use xylitol. It's not safe for the lil guys.
- 40 g Cocoa power
- 0.25 tsp salt
Instructions
Toasting the hazelnuts
- Preheat your oven to 300F/Gas Mark 2/150C. Place the hazelnuts on a baking tray, and toast for 12-14 minutes until they become a light gold colour.
- While still warm, remove hazelnuts from oven, place them in a ktichen towel and rub them until the skins come off.
Blending the hazelnuts
- Once the skins are off, put the hazelnuts in a food processor and blend until they become a smooth paste. Add in the oil, and continue to blend. To guarantee you get a completely smooth paste you'd need quite a powerful food processor. Cheaper ones won't be quite as smooth, but still just as tasty.
- Once smooth, add in the cocoa, and salt. Blend further to mix it together. Then transfer to an air tight container/jar, and place in the fridge until set.
