Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (210g) raw hazelnuts
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt
- 6 oz (170g) white chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp (30ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
- Rub the warm roasted hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel to remove the papery skins.
- Place the skinned hazelnuts in a food processor and blend on high for 5-7 minutes until they transform from a powder to a smooth, runny liquid.
- Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass bowl and heat in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Stir the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract into the melted white chocolate until fully incorporated.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the food processor with the warm hazelnut butter.
- Pulse for 30 seconds until the mixture is a uniform ivory color and silky texture.
- Transfer the spread to an airtight glass jar and let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour to thicken.
