In my previous corporate job, my erstwhile colleague, Fella, would often do a cake run when we hit our sugar lows, at about 4pm most days. However, for the times when we couldn't leave our desks, we had no option other than to hit the secret stash in her bottom drawer: a packet of digestive biscuits, a jar of Nutella and a knife. It certainly hit the spot. This is my slightly healthier version containing just 4 ingredients. Like Nutella, it is chocolatey and hazelnutty, but also a little coconutty, which I quite like, and is fabulous smeared on hot toast...
What you need:
1/2 cup of hazelnut meal (or finely ground hazelnuts)
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup cacao or cocoa
Method:
Blend in the food processor until smooth then refrigerate until required, during which time it will solidify somewhat, but rest assured, it will melt and ooze nicely over hot toast.
Makes 1 cup full.
