Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put the nuts in a food processor and process for 20–30 minutes, stopping and scraping down the side as needed every 5 minutes. This takes more time than you’d expect, so be patient! It’s ready when the oils have released from the nuts and the consistency is like smooth butter.

    Step 2

    Stir in the raw cacao to make a delicious chocolate spread.

    Step 3

    Transfer to a glass jar, seal, and store in the fridge.
