Vegan Chocolate Hazelnut Spread Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry roasted unsalted hazelnuts use blanched/skinless for best flavor and consistency
- ¼ cup vegan chocolate chips, chunks, or a chopped-up bar
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- bread for toast, or fruit (to dip)
Instructions
- Place hazelnuts into a food processor, or high-speed blender, and process into a very smooth and runny hazelnut butter.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave (or on the stove top), add it to the food processor along with the vanilla extract and process briefly, just until everything is well combined together and smooth.
- Spread one to two tablespoons of the chocolate hazelnut spread onto each slice of toast or enjoy with anything else!
Notes
Leftover spread can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
