RecipeIngredients
- 1 heaped cup shelled Raw Hazel nuts (you can buy shelled or in shell; see note below )
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp raw cacao powder or cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 2 tbsp hot water
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
RecipeInstructions
- If using hazel nuts in shell, lay them on a baking tray and toast in the oven at 350 F for about 20 minutes. Let cool and then crack them open using a nut cracker or a small pestle or a hammer. Then measure 1 cup of the shelled nuts.
- Add the shelled nuts to the food processor and blend to form a powder. Then add all the rest of the ingredients and blend till smooth. You may need to open the jar and run a knife or a spatula through the mixture in between a couple times to get a smooth pasty mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to a jar and keep in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
For a creamier texture, add 1 tbsp extra coconut oil and 1 tbsp extra hot water than what the recipe calls for and blend for a few extra minutes.
