Instructions

  1. Hazelnuts: Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Spread the hazelnuts onto a rimmed baking sheet, then roast for 12 to 15 minutes until slightly toasted. (If your hazelnuts still have skins on, transfer them to a kitchen towel and roll them with your hands to remove their skins.)
  2. Puree Dates: Meanwhile, add the dates and water to a food processor or strong blender, and puree until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Remove the date paste and wipe clean.
  3. Puree Hazelnuts: Add roasted hazelnuts to the food processor or strong blender and run for 8 to 15 minutes until a smooth nut butter forms (it will go from crumbs to a thick paste to nut butter—be patient!).
  4. Combine: Add date paste, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt, then blitz to combine. Drizzle in almond milk, using only as much as is needed, to reach a smooth, Nutella-like consistency.

Notes

  • If your dates are firm, soak them in warm water for an hour or two before pureeing.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for 5 to 7 days.
