Sugar Free Hazelnut Chocolate Spread

Ingredients:

• 200g Hazelnuts
• 50g Stevia Erylite
• 4 tbsp Coconut Oil (melted)
• 20g Raw Cacao Powder

Method:

Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 180 C’ for 7 minutes. When the nuts are done pour them on a flat laid out tea towel, then fold it in half and rub the nuts between the towel to remove the skins. Don’t worry if all the skins don’t come off – they can be stubborn little buggers sometime.

Give the Stevia a quick blitz (2sec) in a Nutribullett. Any other food processor works too, the speed of the process will vary depending on the power of the machine. Stevia can leave a bit of grittiness behind when in raw cooking.

Pop in the peeled hazelnuts and whizz until it develops a spread-like texture.

Then add the melted Coconut Oil and the Cacao Powder and continue whizzing until all well blended.

Keep it in a sealed container for up to a month.
