Chocolate Spread

Use as a healthy alternative to nutella for your breakfast toast (preferably sourdough!)

Also makes a great snack straight off the spoon.  Or use as a filling for homemade chocolates.

• 250 g (1/2 jar) Zenian creamed coconut
• 125g coconut oil
• 2 tablespoon cocoa powder (raw is delicious)
• 2 tablespoon honey or other natural sweetener of your choice
• 2 tsp vanilla essence

If the creamed coconut or coconut oil are very solid, soften by placing in a container inside a bowl of warm water.  Place all ingredients into a food processor, and process till smooth.  Adjust the quantities of oil, cocoa and honey to suit your personal taste.  Pour into a jar,  It will firm up after sitting for a while.

Variations:

• Vanilla spread - Omit the cocoa.  Add a little more vanilla if desired.
• White Chocolate spread - Omit the cocoa.  Replace some of the coconut oil with melted cocoa butter.  Add a little more vanilla if desired.
