Ingredients
- 2 cups raw hazelnuts
- 1/2 tsp fine salt
- 2 tbsp hazelnut oil (can substitute warmed coconut oil)
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spread hazelnuts out on a rimmed, ungreased baking sheet and roast until fragrant and golden brown, 15- 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with a large damp dish towel. Let steam for 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
- Use the towel to rub the hazelnuts and remove their skins.
- Transfer nuts to a food processor, add salt, and process until smooth, 8- 10 minutes, scraping down bowl as needed. Nuts will go from coarsely ground, to dough-like and clumping, to a thick paste, and eventually to a smooth butter.
- Add the oil, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla bean seeds and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass jar with a lid and refrigerate; the spread will thicken as it cools.
