Ingredients
- 70 g Butter
- 50 g Caster Sugar
- 15 g Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 100 g Dark Chocolate or milk chocolate, chopped
- 110 g Hazelnuts skinned
- 100 ml Milk
Method
- Begin by toasting the hazelnuts in a dry pan over a medium heat until golden and fragrant, being careful not to burn them. Add the hazelnuts to a food processor and process until the nuts become powdered.
- Using a spatula, scrape the nuts off the sides of the bowl and process again until they form a paste. Add the sugar and blitz again until well combined, scraping down the sides and lid of the processor bowl if required.
- Put the chopped chocolate and milk in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water on a low heat. Once the chocolate has melted, pour the mixture into the food processor. Add the butter and cocoa powder and blend until combined.
- Spoon into a sterilised jar and keep refrigerated for about 12 days.
