Homemade Almond Nutella
A rich, creamy, chocolatey almond spread that’s naturally sweetened and perfect for toast, fruit, or baking!
Ingredients
- 300 g (2 cups) dry roasted salted almonds
- 100 g (3.5 oz) dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Place the dry roasted almonds into a food processor and blend until they break down into a smooth, runny almond butter. This may take up to 10 minutes depending on your processor’s strength.
- Once smooth, add the chopped dark chocolate to the processor and blend until the chocolate melts and fully combines with the almond butter.
- Taste and adjust the sweetness with honey. If using salted almonds, add 2–3 tablespoons of honey; if using unsalted almonds, consider adding a small pinch of salt along with the honey. Add the vanilla extract.
- Continue blending until the mixture thickens slightly as the honey and vanilla incorporate.
- With the processor running, slowly pour in the melted coconut oil and blend for another 1–2 minutes, or until the spread becomes silky and smooth.
- Transfer to a jar and enjoy as a spread, dip, or delicious topping for any treat!
