Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup skinned hazelnuts
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips dark or semi-sweet, or dairy-free
  • 3/4 cup lite coconut milk or almond milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • a pinch kosher or sea salt

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Glass jar or airtight container

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the skinned hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for about 10-12 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly golden.
  2. Step 2: Once the hazelnuts have cooled slightly, transfer them to your food processor. Blend on high speed until they form a smooth hazelnut butter, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Step 3: Add the chocolate chips and coconut or almond milk to the processor. Blend again until combined. If too thick, add more milk until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Step 4: Add honey and a pinch of salt. Blend again to incorporate fully. Adjust sweetness by adding more honey if necessary.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the spread to a glass jar or airtight container. For best flavor, allow it to sit in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • Freeze for up to three months in a freezer-safe container.
