Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2/3 cup (2 1/2 ounces) hazelnuts, skins on
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup (3 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking pan. Toast in oven until the skins are almost black, about 15 minutes. Wrap hot hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel, and rub until most of the skins have come off. Discard skins, and place the hot hazelnuts in the bowl of a food processor.
  • Process nuts, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally, until they have liquefied, about 5 minutes. Set the hazelnuts aside.
  • Combine the condensed milk, chocolate chips, and honey in a heat-proof bowl or the top of a double boiler; set over a pan of simmering water. Stirring occasionally, heat until the chocolate chips have melted, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the hot-chocolate mixture to the liquefied hazelnuts, and process until the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Transfer the spread to an airtight container, and store, refrigerated, up to 1 month.
