Amazing quick raw nutella (dairy free)

Raw nutella (dairy free)

a rich, delicious chocolate spread!

Preparation time: 3 minutes

Ingredients:

3/4 cup nuts (I used walnuts, cashews and hazelnuts)
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup or more cocoa powder (this may change)
1/3 cup of your favourite sweetener (maple syrup, honey, stevia, xylitol…your choice!)
a drop of vanilla or spearmint oil (optional)
water (enough to obtain a smooth mixture)

Instructions:

Put in your blender the above ingredients and the water. Don't put too much water in the beginning or you will end up with a chocolate drink. Remember that once in the fridge, the mixture will solidify in a couple of hours or less.

Whisk well! If it's too liquid, add cocoa powder.
If it's too dry, add water. I would also consider cold spearmint tea to add a cool aftertaste.

When you are happy with taste, texture (the longer you mix, the smoother it will be) and consistency, store in a mason jar and keep in the fridge.

This spread is an excellent chocolate ganache as well. The original recipe is, in fact, in this blog, under Chocolate tartlets.

Notes

This chocolate spread will last for at least a week - but not in my household. We eat it all within 3 days!

I have tried at least 5 different recipes for raw nutella and this is the one we like the best. I also tried a recipe which contained only hazelnuts and I found their taste overpowering.

Possible ingredient variations: sunflowers seeds, coconut oil, almonds, pecans, chia seeds, peanuts, sesame seeds, flaxseeds, white chocolate, coconut milk….

How to heal from Paronychia (bacterial nail infection) with herbs!

How a friend healed from Paronychia (bacterial nail infection) with herbs! About a week ago I went to my local supermarket and I noticed that the till assistant had a sling on his bandaged middle finger. I am curious by nature , so I couldn't help asking him what happened to his finger. Carl, that was his name, promptly showed me and my daughter his finger (after taking off bandage and sling of course). To have an idea of what it looked like, have a look at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paronychia It looks painful, doesn't it? He said that when he was watching a football on TV, he didn't realise that his nail-biting had gone a bit over the limit, and he had torn some flesh. His doctor was about to see him in two days, he reassured me, and he probably expected to be given antibiotics to treat the infection. Not happy with what I saw, I suggested a few herbs that could help him earlier than his G.P. appointment. However, once I got hom...

Recipe: Chocolate/Carob Pudding

This recipe was sent to me as part of Karen Knowler's newsletters. I tried it and tweaked it to my liking.....it's very good and overly sweet! Chocolate (Carob) Pudding Ingredients: * 2 avocadoes * 1 cup dates * 1/2 cup raw carob powder or cocoa powder * optional mint syrup * Water as needed (dates give a hard time to the blades if they are not in water) Directions 1) Simply blend all ingredients in a food processor or with a hand blender until the mixture is smooth and creamy. (A blender can’t cope with this almost solid, sticky mixture) 2) Taste test before serving. Add more avocado if you'd like it richer and/or creamier, add more dates for extra sweetness or more carob/cocoa for a stronger chocolate flavour. 3) Serve on its own or with raw ice-cream for the ultimate treat. RAW COACH'S TOP TIPS: * This recipe will keep for about 2-3 days in the fridge. Comment from Franz: this pudding is e...
