INGREDIENTS

2 cups whole almonds

1 cup shredded coconut

¼ tsp salt

2 tbsp cacao powder

1 Tbsp powdered sugar (optional)

LUCKY NUTS IN THIS RECIPE

Natural Almonds

METHOD

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
  2. Add almonds to a large baking tray and roast for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and add coconut, roasting for a further 4 minutes. To ensure you don’t burn your coconut we recommend checking the coconut at 2mins, then again at 3 minutes- every oven runs differently and overcooking the coconut (or almonds) will ruin the nut butter.
  3. Allow to cool for a full 10 minutes before transferring to a high food processor and blending for 3-5 minutes. You will need to stop the machine and scrape down the sides regularly, and if you have a low-speed food processor this may take up to 10 minutes – in which case, it is a good idea to give the food processor breaks to avoid overheating.
  4. Once you have a smooth, drippy nut butter add salt, cacao and sweetener and blend until combined.
