Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter

February 4, 2013

There’s this joke about Pinterest on how everything is only good to see, and nothing ever gets translated into real life. That’s not entirely true. I’ve come across some brilliant fitness ideas, recipes, fashion ideas on the multiple boards.

This recipe is another beautiful discovery from one of the food boards. Very few ingredients and minimal time taken means it’s simple enough to make each time a bottle gets empty, elegant enough to be a part of a gourmet gift basket or a simple gift for family and friends.

You do need a mixer or a food processor though. It will make many nutritious yet yummy sandwiches for kids (and adults). The evening I made this, I was afraid I will lick this clean straight from the mixer. Scary!

Check my video on how to make a basic peanut butter – no fancy ingredients or equipment required.

I usually make my own peanut butter, but the two additional ingredients definitely add a gourmet twist to good ol’ peanut butter. Coconut oil, used in South India for centuries, got a bad rap over the last few years for being a saturated fat (solidifies at room temp) but it’s back in the ranks of healthy food.

Organic cold pressed coconut is being consumed raw by the tablespoon by many a Hollywood star. Make sure you use a good quality coconut oil for this. It is of course optional, but it adds LOADS of flavour to the butter.

Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup peanuts roasted skinned
  • 1/2 tsp salt (avoid if using ed roasted peanuts)
  • 50 to 100 grams dark chocolate , chopped
  • 1/4 cup chocolate OR use chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil cold pressed (or any edible )

Method
 

  1. Equipment required: A food processor or mixer.
  2. In a food processor or mixer, blend all of the above until it turns into a fine paste. Scrape down the sides of the jar 2-3 times and run the mixer for a total of 2-3 minutes until everything comes together to a buttery consistency.
  3. With a silicone spatula, scrape everything into a clean dry glass bottle.
  4. The butter solidifies in the fridge. When left out it is a nice spreadable consistency and I prefer to leave it out. Prepare a small quantity at a time so that there's no chance of spoilage.

Notes

Use this to make sandwiches or eat with sliced apples or pears. Fruit with peanut butter is one of the healthiest snacks for adults and kids alike.

    Yum! I always make my own peanut butter and I often make chocolate peanut butter as I don’t eat nutella anymore 🙂 I have blogged a similar recipe too but I use unsweetned cocoa powder in it. I am sure with dark chocolate in it, it’ll be a lot more decadent.
