Ingredients

1 cup hazelnuts, toasted and skins removed

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cocoa recommended)

1/4 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Optional garnish: chopped hazelnuts, cocoa powder, or a drizzle of melted chocolate

Instructions

Prepare the Hazelnuts: Start by toasting the hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Allow to cool, then rub them in a kitchen towel to remove any loose skins.

Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.

Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, add the toasted hazelnuts, melted chocolate mixture, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.

Chill (Optional): For a thicker consistency, transfer the dip to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, and if desired, sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts, a dusting of cocoa powder, or drizzle with additional melted chocolate for extra flair. Serve with fresh fruit slices, pretzels, or crunchy graham crackers for dipping.
