Hello,

Today we will prepare one of our favourite nut butters, maybe the most favourite one: 100% Hazelnut Butter. It tastes so good that it is hard to resist not to eat it all!

You can use your Hazelnut Butter in your breakfast bowls, smoothies, nice creams, over a slice of bread, chocolate spreads... It enhances immensely the taste of anything you add it into.

Just like any of our nut butters we don't use anything else but the only the hazelnut itself.

When I prepare nut and seed butters using almonds, cashew, sunflower etc, sometimes I use raw nuts/seeds, other times i use a mixture or raw and toasted ones. I can't say the same thing for hazelnut butter though. There is a lot difference between the taste of raw and toasted hazelnut butter. That's something that I don't want to compromise. Surely the decision is yours.

Ingredients:
500 g lightly roasted peeled hazelnuts

Preparation:

• Blend hazelnuts. Pause and scrape down the sides of your blender bowl with a spatula if/when needed and then restart. When the mixture starts getting hot during blending, take a break and let it cool. (You can place your blender bowl in the fridge if there is enough space or leave it out in the balcony in winter so that it'd cool faster) Once cooled down start again and repeat all the steps necessary until you have a creamy hazelnut.

(Thermomix owners => Place hazelnuts in TM Bowl and blend for 60 seconds on Speed 7. Scrape down the sides with spatula. Blend for 1 minute increasing the speed gradually to 7. Scrape down the sides when necessary. When the temperature reaches at 50°C, take a break and let it cool. (You can place the TM Bowl in the fridge if there is enough space or leave it out in the balcony in winter so that it could cool faster) Once cooled down blend again by increasing the speed gradually to 7. Repeat all the steps necessary until you have a creamy hazelnut butter.)

• Transfer your hazelnut butter in a glass jar and store it in the fridge.

Enjoy.
