This took about half an hour to make. It’s enough to fill a relatively large jar (see the pictures), and is really easy to make.

Ingredients⌗

  • 50g of raw cane sugar
  • 50g of roasted unsalted peanuts
  • 85g of hazelnut powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla bean powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 85g of sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
  • 200ml of water

Steps⌗

  • In a small saucepan, add the sugar and water together. Cook over medium heat, up until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Meanwhile, finely mix the peanuts using a blender.
  • Add the sugared water in the blender, and mix again.
  • Add in the hazelnut powder, the vanilla, the salt, and the oil, then mix again until you get a homogeneous paste.
  • Pour the mixture into a saucepan, and warm it over medium heat, without cooking it. Add the cocoa without stopping mixing.
  • Once the mixture is smooth, remove the pan from the heat. Pour it into a jar, and let it sit.

Results⌗

So the taste is really not what I was expecting, you almost can’t tell there’s chocolate in it, and you really only taste the peanuts and the hazelnuts.

But, at the same time, I really like it. I enjoyed putting it on a slice of bread this morning.

Apart from this, the texture is not really was I was expecting either. It’s more liquid than your typical chocolate spread.

Overall, I’d give it a 4.5/5.
