Ingredients
Scale
Regular Version:
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (225 grams) white chocolate
- 4.5 ounces (127 grams) roasted and peeled hazelnuts
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Oil:
- 5 teaspoons canola oil
Vegan Paleo Version:
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ounces (57 grams) cocoa butter
- 6 ounces (170 grams) roasted and peeled hazelnuts
Sweetener and Flavor Enhancers:
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3/16 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Regular Version:
- Select high-quality white chocolate and carefully chop into uniform small pieces to ensure even melting.
- Carefully melt the chocolate using microwave technique, rotating the bowl and stirring gently at 30-second intervals until achieving a glossy, smooth liquid consistency without any solid fragments.
- Transfer raw hazelnuts and salt into a robust food processor fitted with a sharp S-blade, creating a fine, powdery nut texture through continuous pulsing.
- Incorporate vanilla extract and neutral oil into the ground hazelnut mixture, processing until a luxurious, creamy paste develops with minimal graininess.
- While the white chocolate remains warm and fluid, stream it into the hazelnut mixture, blending thoroughly to create a silky, homogeneous spread with consistent color and texture.
- Transfer the freshly created spread into a clean glass jar, allowing it to rest at room temperature for 6-8 hours to naturally stabilize and reach an ideal spreadable consistency.
Vegan Paleo Version:
- Select premium cocoa butter and gently melt using low, controlled heat in a small saucepan, avoiding direct high temperatures that might compromise its delicate structure.
- Pulse raw hazelnuts with salt in a food processor, transforming them into a fine, powdery meal with consistent granulation.
- Integrate melted cocoa butter, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the ground hazelnut base, processing at low speed to create a smooth, glossy mixture.
- Carefully pour the liquid spread into a clean glass container, allowing it to cool and set at room temperature over 6-8 hours, occasionally stirring to prevent ingredient separation.
