How people cook with it
This spread is versatile and can be used in both sweet and savory applications. It adds a unique flavor dimension to breakfast items and desserts.
- Spread on toast
- Dipped with fruit
- Swirled into yogurt
- Used in baking
Begin by stirring the spread well, as natural separation of oil may occur. You can spread it directly onto toast, bagels, or pancakes for a quick and satisfying breakfast. It also pairs wonderfully with fresh fruit like apples or bananas for a simple snack. For a more decadent treat, swirl it into oatmeal, yogurt, or ice cream. Bakers can incorporate it into cookies, brownies, or frosting for an added layer of almond and chocolate flavor. Its smooth consistency makes it easy to mix into batters or doughs.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional peanut butter, this spread features the distinct taste of almonds, offering a lighter, sometimes less intense nutty flavor. The addition of cocoa and milk creates a flavor profile closer to a chocolate-hazelnut spread, but with the specific nuttiness of almonds. It provides a different textural experience and flavor complexity.
Who it is for
This spread is for anyone looking for a flavorful alternative to common nut butters.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the spread in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is not necessary, but ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness. Stirring before each use is recommended to reintegrate any separated oils. Properly stored, it will maintain its quality for an extended period.
