Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place hazelnuts in a single layer on the sheet. Roast for 12-15 mins, watching them after about 10 minutes to ensure they do not brown too quickly or burn.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer to a clean kitchen towel. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes. Using a back and forth motion, gently rub the nuts until the skins have mostly been removed. 
  • Place hazelnuts in the bowl of a food processor or high-speed blender and process until finely ground. Scrape down the sides of the bowl or blender as needed. Continue processing until they start to liquify. It usually will take about 5 minutes. Stop the food processor as needed to scrape down the sides of the bowl more.
  • Add in the coconut sugar and cocoa powder. Process until well combined, about 30 seconds.
  • With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the oil and vanilla. Process until smooth. Add the salt and process very quickly, just a few seconds.
  • Add in the dark chocolate chips or chunks and salt. Process for about 30 seconds. If it starts to get too lumpy, add in 1-2 more tablespoons of oil through the shoot. 
  • Transfer the spread into a clean jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Let it come to room temperature before scooping and spreading. 

Notes

  • Coconut sugar: Run it through a spice grinder or blender for a few seconds to turn it into a powder first.
  • Avocado oil: You may need a few more tablespoons depending on how many dark chocolate chips/chunks you add! Add 1 tablespoon at a time towards the end until you reach the consistency you desire.
