Homemade chunky Almond-ella (chocolate almond spread)
An easy way to make a wholesome homemade almond version of everyone's favourite Nutella !
Notes
- This can be stored for about 2 weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If it thickens too much , just warm it up in the microwave or stove top.
- 70 grams almonds are about 65- 70 almonds .
- When you grind them , do so in small pulses . If you grind them too much, they may become like a paste. This is less common in toasted almonds. You can also mix in a little icing sugar to prevent it. Just in case it does become paste-like , don't worry. You can still mix it with cream as above. You are going to strain it anyways!
- Even if you use almond paste , its difficult to get the same smooth consistency as you do in store bought Nutella.
