- 400 g raw hazelnuts or nuts of your choice
- 20 fresh dates or soaked dried dates, pitted
- 125 ml melted cacao butter (or coconut oil, the taste will be
different but delicious too)
- 4 tbsp cacao powder
- 125 ml water or more if you prefer
Preheat the oven to 150°C / 300°F. Place the nuts in a single layer on a
baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 20-30 minutes until golden and
the skin is starting to crack. Keep an eye on them to avoid from
burning. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Place the nuts on a
rough kitchen towel and rub to remove the skin. Place in a food
processor and process until completely smooth (nut butter) and the oil
from the hazelnuts has released. You may want to scrape down the sides a
couple of times.
Melt the cacao butter on very low heat in a small saucepan. Mash the
dates with a fork until the consistency of sticky caramel. Add the
melted cacao butter, cacao powder, mashed dates and water to the nut
butter and process until smooth. Alternatively combine the mixture by
stirring with a spoon. Taste and adjust the flavors to your preference.
Scoop into air tight glass jars. Keeps at least for a few weeks in the
refrigerator. Tip: Add juice and zest from 1 orange for an extra twist.
