Hazelnut Chocolate Spread

18 April, 2017 . 0

Make a batch of this sugar-free spread and keep it in the fridge for a quick, healthy alternative to slather on toast and other treats.

Ingredients

300g raw hazelnuts
180g xylitol
50g pure cacao powder or good quality cocoa powder
¼ tsp salt
40ml coconut oil, melted

Method

Step 1.

Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Spread the hazelnuts over a baking tray and roast for 10 minutes, shaking the tray after 5 minutes so they roast evenly, until lightly browned.

Step 2.
Put toasted hazelnuts on a clean tea towel. Rub in the towel to remove as much of the skins as possible. Transfer to a food processor and finely ground.

Step 3.
Add xylitol, cacao or cocoa, salt and coconut oil and process until smooth. Spoon into a clean airtight container or jar. Refrigerate.
