Ombar Hazelnut Spread

Method

• 1.

  Preheat oven to 190°C. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until fragrant.

• 2.

  Carefully put the hot hazelnuts in a mason jar with the lid on and shake. The papery skins will fall right off. Remove the skinless nuts and put them in a food processor or a high-powered blender, then re-shake the jar until the rest of the skins come off the remaining nuts.

• 3.

  Blend the hazelnuts until they turn into a smooth hazelnut butter - this should take about 5 minutes.

• 4.

  Add the melted chocolate, coconut oil, plant milk, vanilla, salt and sugar to taste. Blend for another minute until all the ingredients are combined and appear smooth.

• 5.

  Transfer to a large mason jar. Store in the refrigerator for several weeks.
