Place hazelnuts and cocoa butter in work bowl of food processor. Process for about 4.5 minutes, or longer for some models, until nut puree is liquidy and mostly smooth.
Transfer to refrigerator container with lid and chill 2-3 hours before serving.
Note- Nut butter will be quite firm but melt slightly (nicely) when placed on a warm baked good.
Recipe Notes
Notes: For a sweeter butter add up to 2 T raw honey or stevia.
Additionally, add 1-2 T unsweetened cocoa powder for a truer cocoa-based Nutella-like spread.
Add 1 t cinnamon or ½ t celtic sea salt, to taste.
