Love CHOCOLATE spread? Here’s an easy recipe to make your own
We all love chocolate. There's nothing better than coming home from work and having some toast with chocolate spread on it. Pure bliss, right?
Well, what if you could make your own? We have the basic recipe here but if you want to change it up a bit for your own taste, then go ahead.
Sure, what diet?
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 115g of chocolate (70% or your own choice)
- handful of hazelnuts
- 140g unsalted butter, softened and cubed
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar (granulated, honey, maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Method:
1. In a saucepan, mix the water, sugar, salt and cocoa powder. Place pan on a medium heat and stir until the sugar and powder dissolve. Continue until it reaches a simmer.
2. Once simmered, remove from heat and add vanilla extract, butter and chocolate. Combine until the mixture is completely smooth.
3. Pour into a jar with an air-tight lid and refrigerate until thick (if eaten straight away it will have a hot fudge consistency).
