So a quick rummage through my fridge led me to a small handful of hazelnuts. There were probably only about 20 or so left, but they were tasty. I thought I'd give them a whizz and make my own hazelnut butter - not enough for ice cream, but just a test to see how it would work.
I used my immersion blender fixed onto it's dry food grinder. The dry food grinder makes it really into a tiny food processor.
It blended those hazelnuts brilliantly - and quickly! Yes, no other ingredients - just handful of hazelnuts and switch on the machine. Yummy, creamy hazelnut butter in about a minute...now I just need to buy more hazelnuts and make some more and then make the ice cream!
I wonder what nut butter I should try next.... I've done almond, cashew and now hazelnut...maybe some green pistachio for St Patricks Day???? What is your favorite nut butter?
(PS I HATE peanut butter! Ugh, even the smell is ghastly!)
