I don’t know about you, but I like a quick choco-fix every now and then. One that literally involved opening a jar and stuffing my face. And this, my friends, is the perfect way to achieve that very thing! It’s like a brownie in a jar. You ready? WALNUT CHIP TRUFFLE BUTTER! I know, it’s a mouthful. But when you try it, you’ll understand why.
Walnut, because that’s the main ingredient. Chip, because there are little chunks of chocolate that surprise you with each bite. Truffle, because the texture is like the inside of a decadent treat. And butter, because, well, it’s nut butter!
It’s full of healthy omega-3 fats which is quite satiating! Added bonus, you can use this yummy butter in an application you’d use another nut butter like my pecan butter or regular walnut butter). On toast, in oats, with fruit, the possibilities are endless!
Give this walnut chip truffle butter a try and let me know how you like it!
Walnut Chip Truffle Butter
Ingredients
- 3 cups raw walnuts
- 1 cup raw cashews
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (I like to use coconut sugar sweetened chips)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°.
- Place the walnuts and cashews on a baking sheet and roast in oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, until fragrant but not burnt. Allow to cool completely.
- To a food processor, add walnuts and cashews, and being processing (this will take some time). You will go through phases in grinding your nut butter. First, you’ll see a the nuts break down be coarse, then a fine powder. Keep going! It will eventually start looking like a “dough.” Keep processing! After it’s gone past the dough-ball phase, you will start seeing the nut butter transform into a smooth nut butter consistency. You’ve just gotta keep processing! You can give your machine breaks every now and then to ensure it doesn’t overheat.
- Once it’s turned into butter, and while it’s still warm, add in the salt and 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
- Process until the chocolate is melted and completey incorporated.
- Add in the remaining ½ cup of chocolate chips and stir in until distributed throughout.
- Transfer to a jar and keep refrigerated for about a month. You can use this on your toast, pancakes, oatmeal, or just eat it by the spoonful! It tastes like a brownie in a jar!
