Good quality Chocolate

Okay, before you all start complaining about how can chocolate be healthy? If you are using good quality chocolate and the one which has a good percentage of cocoa and cocoa butter. Dark chocolates with more than 70 per cent of cocoa are considered healthy. 

As I mentioned in my earlier post on Crunchy Chocolate Cornflakes, always use good quality chocolate. Especially when you are making it at home why waste the effort? Also chocolate is generally a kid’s favourite, so best to use good quality.

My kids love to spread the chocolate in their whole wheat banana pancake. I do not like to spread it with the shop-bought spread. I was thinking of making something healthy that will satisfy their chocolate cravings as well as add some nutrients with less sugar.

So I decided to make these 2 Ingredients Hazelnut Chocolate Butter. Though one can add sugar or honey, I have not added any as we found the chocolate butter perfect for our cravings.

Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts, like any other nuts, are a rich source of protein, fats, and vitamins. They have a sweet flavour and can be eaten raw, roasted, or ground in a paste. Hazelnut or hazelnut chocolate spreads are used in cookies, cakes, and sandwiches. When hazelnuts are added whole or crushed they add a nice nutty texture to the dish.

Process of Chocolate Butter

So coming to today’s recipe, the recipe uses just 2 ingredients and the third ingredient is patience. As said in my earlier post on Honey Roasted Peanut Butter, to get a smooth consistency butter you need Patience and a food processor or at least a powerful blender. I had made this once earlier and the result was not a smooth consistency butter only due to my lack of patience. This time I was determined to make it properly and patiently. I have kept the skin intact but one can remove it if required.

Equipment

• Food Processor

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Hazelnuts
• 1/4 Cup Roughly chopped Dark chocolate or chocolate chips

Instructions

• Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet let it roast for 5 minutes or until you see the skins have started coming.
• This can be done on a pan with medium heat.
• Once cooled, take that in the food processor and start grinding in intervals of a min and every time giving it a quick mix as it has a tendency to get stuck up under the blades.
• I have not removed the skins, one can remove if desired.
• Repeat this until you get the desired consistency. Give a break after 5-8 minutes if it is not done. Repeat after some time. But this was much quicker than peanut butter.
• At almost the end of it melt the chocolate and add to the hazelnut mixture.
• Chocolate melting in a microwave should be done in a burst of 30 seconds or less. A good quality chocolate should melt in 1 min or a little more. After every 30 seconds stir it. Stirring the chocolate causes friction and it melts. Mine was done in around 70 seconds. After 70 seconds I had some pieces but stirring it melted it completely.
• One can use a double boiler to melt the chocolate.
• Blend it again and you are done.
• Enjoy it with a slice of bread or on crackers.

Notes

• 1 Cup = 235 ml, 1 tbsp= 15 ml, 1 tsp = 5 ml
• One can add sugar if required.
