Recipe: Shilpa Shetty makes us drool with healthy homemade spin to choco-spread

Ingredients:

2 cups dry roasted, unsalted hazelnuts

2 tbsp coconut oil (melted & cooled)

2/3 cup cacao or cocoa powder

7 dates (soaked)

½ cup pure maple syrup

1 cup almond milk (add more if needed)

½ tsp vanilla extract or vanilla essence

Pinch of salt

Method:

Add hazelnuts to a high-powered blender or food processor (one that can make nut butter). It will be powdery like almond flour after the first blend. Here, stop machine to stir and scrape down sides, then continue blending and repeat until it is smooth and creamy like peanut butter.

Now, add the remaining ingredients and blend/process until smooth and creamy (add more almond milk if needed to thin out). Enjoy!

Benefits:

Hazelnuts provide healthy fats and are a great source of dietary fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals. Almond milk is also a great source of protein.
