Choc Hazelnut Spread

by // // No Comments

Luciously creamy indulgent chocolate hazelnut spread! 

🍫🌰Choc Hazelnut Spread🌰🍫 Think drizzled on pancakes, as a crepe filling, drizzled over a cake, over fruit skewers, sandwiched between cookies (yup that recipes coming!!), stuffed into medjool dates, or simply spread on some crusty sourdough bread! Yum!! 😍

(You can see in the image above how molten and lusciously creamy it is straight after being made!)

It is SO easy to make your own Choc Hazelnut Spread or ‘Nutella’ in the Thermomix! .

Using natural healthier ingredients and making it from scratch there is a lot to love about a spoonful of this decadent creamy goodness! .

Have you ever read the ingredients list on a bought Nutella or choc hazel spread? Next time you go to the shops, make sure you do so! 🙃

Now look at the image below of how the ‘Nutella’ sets after being in the fridge overnight! It sets up so nicely and is the perfect spreadable consistency after sitting out of the fridge for just 5 minutes!

I made this ‘Nutella’ a few years ago and now use it on my sister in laws Paleo Nutella Cake on my website, so give it a go if you haven’t already!

Broccoli & Golden Beetroot Salad w. Green Goddess Dressing

by // // No Comments

Golden Beetroot & Broccoli Salad At the recent Thermomix Spectacular on the Sunshine Coast, I teamed up with my beautiful friend from over at Desperate Healthwives. We had a gorgeous simple Raw/Paleo, Nut Butter/Nut Milk stand. Along with that gorgeous Raw Macadamia Salted Caramel that I know many of you wanted to lick the plate off, we did this gorgeous fresh salad! It’s a bit of a take on the classic Thermomix Beetroot Salad. We’ve jazzed it up with gorgeous Golden Beetroots that are in season at the moment mixed with fresh spray free broccoli and of course this to die for Green Goddess Dressing! The original credit for the dressing goes to Oh She Glows. If you google green goddess dressing you can read about the history of this awesome dressing too! I’ve converted it to a recipe for the Thermomix and we have added in some fresh Coriander along with the other herbs! I use honey for a touch of sweetener, obviously if you’re vegan you can substitute with some maple syrup. It is 100% lick the bowl material!! Drizzled over this salad it’s a perfect match made in heaven! I know it sort of looks a bit like green slop on a plate, but when you taste it, you completely forget that you are eating green sludge!….Saying that, just look how vibrant green it is! Really you can’t get more ‘real’ food than that! The avocado makes it oh so creamy & smooth, yet it’s still so light….and you almost want to drink it! Enjoy!

  3. Drizzle over the salad and serve extra on the side! You will be licking the plate!!
  4. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Will keep for about 5 days.
