Discover the Perfect Blend of Chocolate and Hazelnuts with Crema de Cacao con Avellanas
Crema de Cacao con Avellanas is a delicious and decadent spread that combines the rich flavor of chocolate with the nuttiness of hazelnuts. This homemade version is easy to make with the Monsieur Cuisine kitchen appliance, allowing you to enjoy this delectable treat at home.
Ingredients:
- 200g hazelnuts
- 200g dark chocolate
- 100g sugar
- 100g milk
- 50g butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Preparation:
1. Roast the hazelnuts:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast them for 10-15 minutes, until they are fragrant and the skins start to crack. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
2. Remove the skins:
Once the hazelnuts are cool enough to handle, rub them between a kitchen towel to remove the skins. Don’t worry if some skin remains, as it will add a nice texture to the spread.
3. Melt the chocolate:
In the Monsieur Cuisine, melt the dark chocolate on a low heat setting, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
4. Grind the hazelnuts:
Add the roasted hazelnuts to the Monsieur Cuisine and grind them until they form a smooth paste. This will take about 10-12 minutes, depending on the desired consistency.
5. Make the hazelnut paste:
Once the hazelnuts are ground, add the sugar, milk, butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the Monsieur Cuisine. Blend everything together until smooth and creamy.
6. Combine the chocolate and hazelnut mixture:
Pour the melted chocolate into the hazelnut paste in the Monsieur Cuisine. Blend everything together until well combined, creating a smooth and velvety spread.
7. Chill and enjoy:
Transfer the Crema de Cacao con Avellanas to a jar or container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Spread this delicious treat on toast, pancakes, or enjoy it straight from the spoon for a decadent treat.
