Ingredients
- 1 cup whole raw hazelnuts
- 2 dates or more to taste
- 2 Tbsp cacao powder (aka unsweetened cocoa powder)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Put the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Give the pan a shake once or twice during cooking. Be careful not to let them burn.
- Put the nuts in a clean kitchen towel and rub together vigorously to remove the skins. Note: Don't worry if some of the skins remain, that's perfectly fine.
- Put the skinned hazelnuts in a jar or bowl and cover with clean cold water. Let soak for at least 2 hours, or, preferably, overnight.
- Drain the nuts and put them into a blender. Add 2 cups filtered water, the dates, and cacao powder. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Strain the milk through a nut bag, or several layers of cheesecloth, squeezing firmly to get all the liquid through. Discard the remaining nut solids or use in a smoothie.
- Your chocolate hazelnut milk will keep in the refrigerator for at least a week.
