Ingredients
  

  • 12 large strawberries
  • 1 cup dry roasted hazelnuts
  • 6 oz dark chocolate discs chips, etc. (You'll want to stay away from bitter baking bars though.)
  • 1 TBSP cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup plus 3 TBSP maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup chocolate almond milk
  • 2 TSP vanilla extract
  • 1 TBSP vegetable oil
  • 1/2 TSP sea salt plus more to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place hazelnuts in a food processor and pulse for a couple of minutes until it forms a thick paste.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate with the almond milk over low heat, stirring often. Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.
  • Add the chocolate mixture to the food processor, and mix in the sea salt, cocoa powder, maple syrup and vegetable oil. Pulse again for a few minutes until everything is combined well.
  • Place the butter in the freezer for about 15 minutes to allow it to harden a bit. You'll want it to be not runny, yet still very easily spreadable.
  • Meanwhile, cut the stems of your strawberries off and scoop out most of the flesh with a butter knife. Once the butter is ready, remove from the freezer and use a butter knife to spread some into each strawberry. Serve immediately.
