Pecans also make a tasty substitution for hazelnuts.
 |
2/3 cup Navitas Naturals Cacao Powder |
|
1/4 cup Navitas Naturals Cacao Butter, melted |
| 1 cup raw hazelnuts | |
| 1/3 cup maple syrup | |
| 1/3 cup agave nectar |
Place the hazelnuts in a bowl and submerge with water. Let nuts soak for 2-4 hours to saturate and soften.
Once fully soaked, drain hazelnuts and place in a food processor. Add cacao powder and both sweeteners, and process for several minutes until completely smooth. Will become thicker upon refrigeration – use for spreading at room temperature. Makes 2 cups.
