Description
Peanutella is a tree nut free version of Nutella made with only a few simple ingredients, including peanuts. It's a chocolate peanut butter spread that you can slather on toast, ice cream, or just a spoon.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups dry roasted peanuts
- 1/2 cup of dark unsweetened cocoa powder (like King Arthur Flour or Hershey's)
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt plus additional to taste
- 3 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
Instructions
- Pour the peanuts into the bowl of a food processor and grind them for about 5 minutes. Then they’ll become more of a paste and finally, they’ll liquefy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- With the processor off, carefully add the cocoa, sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt and two tablespoons of the oil to the bowl. Process until well blended, for an additional 1 minute. Add more up to another ¼ teaspoon salt if needed. If the spread is too thick (you’ll know), add the last tablespoon of oil.
- Stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container, the chocolate peanut butter spread will keep for a week or two. When it is full chilled it will become thick and spreadable.
