Perfect Sweet® Hazelnut Spread

The kids and the adults will love this wonderful substitute for Nutella. Our homemade Perfect Sweet Hazelnut Spread has no additives, no added sugar and is made with delicious organic cocoa and natural sugar free Perfect Sweet xylitol. Spread on wholemeal toast or a rice biscuit and add to a healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients:
2 cups hazelnuts (300g)
½ cup dark unsweetened cocoa
1 cup Perfect Sweet
¼ tsp salt
2 tbs coconut oil

Method:
Heat the oven to 180 degrees C. Spread the nuts evenly over a baking sheet and roast until they darken slightly, about 10 minutes, shaking the tray after 5 minutes so the nuts roast evenly.

Remove the nuts from the oven and place on a clean tea towel and rub as much of the skin off the nuts as possible, (some will still remain, you are just getting rid of the loose stuff).

Transfer the nuts into a food processor, and grind them for about 5 minutes. When they are finely ground add the cocoa, Perfect Sweet, salt and the coconut oil and continue to process until well blended, for about 1 minute.

Store in the refrigerator.
