Ingredients
- 400 g roasted hazelnuts
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 120 g dark chocolate with at least 70% of cocoa
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 C. Put a baking sheet in a single layer on a pan. Add hazelnuts and roast for 8-10 minutes.
- After roasting let cool slightly. Put hazelnuts on a kitchen towel, roll the nuts around and remove most of the skins.
- Add hazelnuts to a blender. Blend on low until a butter is formed – about 8-10 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate on a steamer and set aside.
- When hazelnut butter becomes creamy and smooth, add the vanilla and salt and blend everything. Add melted chocolate a little at a time and blend again until everything is united. Taste and add salt or vanilla if needed.
- Transfer choconut cream to a jar and store at room temperature for use for 2 weeks.
