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.
