Toasted hazelnuts and creamy macadamia nuts form the base of this homemade hazelnut spread, creating a deep, nutty profile that mimics store-bought versions without the added sugars. A touch of raw almond butter and chocolate-infused ketones help bind the mixture, resulting in a smooth, thick consistency that holds up beautifully in the fridge.
The aroma is reminiscent of warm toasted nuts with a hint of vanilla bean. Because it relies on the natural oils from the nuts and the richness of the keto-friendly chocolate base, you only need a small amount to satisfy a craving for something sweet and decadent.
This spread works well as a quick topping for low-carb fruit or as a simple dip for crackers during a mid-afternoon snack. It keeps for up to a month in the refrigerator, making it a convenient staple for when you need a fast, controlled way to add a bit of indulgence to your meal routine.
