Ingredients:

1 kilo of hazelnuts

1/3 cup of water

1 tablespoon of Funat coconut oil

2-3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup of Funat bee honey

1/2 small teaspoon of sea salt

Preparation:

In a food processor or high-speed blender, process the hazelnuts until they are pulverized; to make it easier, you can do it in small amounts.

Continue processing them until they begin to release their own oil and reach a consistency similar to peanut butter.

You can add a little water to make it easier.

Separately, in a small pan, melt the coconut oil, then add the cocoa and honey to it and mix until it becomes a syrup-like cream.

Add this mixture to the hazelnut cream, along with the sea salt and the rest of the water (if you haven't used it all yet), and process a little more until you have a consistent mixture.

Pack in an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place if you are going to consume it soon, otherwise keep refrigerated.
