Ingredients

  • 1 cup hazelnuts, toasted
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch sea salt

Instructions

  1. Begin by toasting the hazelnuts in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Let them cool slightly before removing the skins. You can do this by rubbing them gently in a kitchen towel.
  2. In a food processor, add the toasted hazelnuts and blend for about 2-3 minutes until they form a smooth hazelnut butter. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. Melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Once the chocolate mixture is ready, add it to the food processor with the hazelnut butter, along with the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
  5. Blend everything together until fully combined and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a little more coconut oil.
  6. Taste the spread and adjust sweetness or saltiness as desired. Blend again if needed.
  7. Pour the spread into a clean jar and seal tightly. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
