Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw hazelnuts
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2/3 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 10 minutes or until skins are dark and cracked.
  • Transfer warm hazelnuts to a clean kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove as much skin as possible.
  • Place the warm, skinned hazelnuts into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  • Process on high for 5 to 8 minutes, scraping down sides as needed, until the hazelnuts release their oils and form a completely smooth, liquid butter.
  • Add the cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt to the processor.
  • Process for another 1 to 2 minutes until the dry ingredients are fully integrated.
  • Slowly stream in the melted coconut oil while the processor is running to reach the desired creamy consistency.
  • Transfer the mixture to a glass jar and allow it to cool and thicken at room temperature.
