Homemade chocolate-nut spread in 15 minutes

Ingredients

• Milk – 500 ml
• Sugar – 1 tbsp
• Flour – 2 tbsp. with a slide
• Cocoa – 2 tbsp. with a slide
• Nuts – 100 g
• Butter – 60 g

Method

1. Step 1

   Homemade chocolate-and-nut spread is simple.

2. Step 2

   And much tastier — and more honest — than a shop jar.

3. Step 3

   You know exactly what went into it, so you can trust it.

4. Step 4

   Toast the nuts a little in the oven or in a dry pan.

5. Step 5

   Walnut is not the only option — hazelnuts or peanuts work too.

6. Step 6

   For a smoother paste, grind the nuts in a blender or coffee mill; if you want pieces, use a rolling pin or a knife.

7. Step 7

   First mix the flour, cocoa and sugar.

8. Step 8

   Pour in the cold milk in two goes: first half, whisk smooth, then the rest.

9. Step 9

   Bring to the boil over a medium heat, stirring all the time — bubbles, then it thickens. Cook 1–2 minutes on a low heat until it is as thick as you want.

10. Step 10

    Take it off the heat and stir the chopped nuts and butter into the hot mix.
