Are you a chocolate lover? Do you want to make your own chocolate spread? Try to make one.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (5.5 ounces) almonds, roasted
- 9 ounces milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons almond oil or mild vegetable oil, such as canola
- Heaping 3 tablespoons confectioner's sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Procedure:
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave until smooth.
- In a blender or food processor, grind the almonds until they break down into a fine powder. Add the oil and process until it forms a smooth paste (it should resemble a loose natural peanut butter). Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and process until well incorporated.
- Carefully add the melted chocolate; blend well.
- Decant into a storage container (such as a clean jam jar) and allow to cool to room temperature; the spread will thicken up considerably upon cooling.
Enjoy making your own chocolate spread.
