Begin this recipe 1 day ahead as you need to soak the hazelnuts overnight
METHOD
Soak hazelnuts in water overnight. Then drain and rinse well.
Place hazelnuts in a food processor and whiz until fine. Add 1/4 tsp salt and pulse to combine.
Add 1/4 (25g) of cacao and whiz to combine and then add 25g of coconut oil and whiz until combined.
Repeat, alternating between cacao and coconut oil and scraping down sides of bowl until combined.
