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….
