Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups roasted hazelnuts
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (or no-added-sugar chocolate chips)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Place everything in a small food processor and process in 1-minute intervals for about 5 minutes total, scraping down the sides if necessary, until creamy. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Depending on the power of your mini food processor, it may take a while to achieve the right texture - just continue processing in one minute intervals. Keep in mind the texture of this will be much thicker than store-bought versions, since this recipe uses more hazelnuts and less sugar.
  • If you want to reduce the added sugar further, use no-added-sugar chocolate chips.
  • Makes about 9 servings of 1 ½ tbsp each (approximate).
