Holy nut butter!
After missing Nutella but a bit jaded after my past less success at making it I’ve decided it is time to try again.
And now I’m really that I did. It’s actually a lot easier than I had made it previously.
Firstly you’ll need a hot oven and will need to roast about a cup or two or blanched hazelnuts and half the quantity of blanched almonds.
Once the nuts have gone slightly golden you’re ready to start.
You do need a strong blender or food processor… this is quite a heavy job so if your food processor is a small hand held one this might not work. That was the mistake I had made before.
If your blender can handle crushing ice cubes then it’ll be fine for certain.
Anyway now just throw the nuts into your processor (in batches if needed). Then let it start to crush.
Once the consistency is close to more of a paste add in some some pure dark cacao and sweetener. Then leave it to get crushing until it is a more silky texture. You will want to taste along to make sure it’s as chocolaty and sweet as you like it to be.
Once all that is done your done! Now enjoy!!
