By dkanon

Ingredients

• 1 c whole blanched hazelnuts
• 1 c whole blanched almonds
• 1 1/4 c powdered sugar, sifted
• 1/3 c unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
• 1/2 t pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 t Kosher Salt
• 3 T vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1

Place the nuts in the bowl of a food processor and process for 4 to 5 minutes, until the nuts form a smooth paste. Add the sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt, and vegetable oil and process for another minute, until the mixture is smooth and spreadable. If the spread is too thick, add more oil 1 teaspoon at a time. The spread will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
