Healthy Chocolate Spread - Vegan

Fancy a guilt free Nutella like chocolate spread? Your prayers have been answered. I know, I know, not the most attractive food image but it's tricky. Anyhow it tastes delicious and is better for you!





Ingredients

2 cups raw hazelnuts
1 1/2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup good quality cocoa powder
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons maple syrup or unrefined sugar
1 Tablespoon additional sugar
1/4 teaspoon + 1/8 teaspoon salt
optional 2 teaspoon oil to make extra smooth
1/2 cup milk (almond milk for vegan version)

Method

Roast the hazelnuts for 6-8 minutes in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius.

Pop in a clean tea towel and rub to remove skins. Don't worry is some stubborn skins remain.
Blend the nuts in a food processor until they have turned to butter, then add all other ingredients and blend for quite a long time until it becomes smooth like Nutella.

And hey presto you have it.

Now try to stop eating it.

Thanks fellow blogger Chocolate covered Katie.
