We love this spread so much, you don't have to wait for dessert to enjoy it!

2 Tbsp hazelnuts (optional; or use other nuts)
1 ripe avocado
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 Tbsp honey (or a few drops of stevia)

In a blender, process the nuts until they are very fine, or even pureed. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Serve with fruit, toast, waffels, crepes…anything!

Enjoy with a dash of salt if you love sweet & salty flavors like me.

Store leftovers in a glass jar in the refrigerator for the next few days.
