- 2 cups (284 g) whole hazelnuts
- 1 cup (113g) powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup (28 g) cocoa powder
- 3 Tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Roast your hazelnuts in a single layer at 350°F (180℃) on a parchment lined cookie sheet for 5 minutes.
Remove the skins by covering them in a moistened clean dishtowel, letting them sit for 5-10 minutes, and then rubbing the dishtowel vigorously. This may take a few minutes and some muscle!
In your high speed food processor or high speed blender, blend your hazelnuts until it becomes a creamy paste- resembling peanut butter - this can take up to 5 minutes. If the mixture is still not a smoothy creamy paste, add 1 tablespoon of additional oil.
Add in the rest of your ingredients and pulse to combine until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. Let soften at room temperature for 5 minutes before using.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks in the fridge. Let soften at room temperature for 5 minutes before using.
- Use a different oil - For more of a nuttier flavor, try using hazelnut oil or walnut oil. You could also swap and use vegetable oil, canola oil or olive oil.
- Add vanilla extract - For a little extra flavor try adding 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
