Ingredients
2cupsalmonds- I used unsalted
Instructions
Using a food processor, pulse almonds until smooth and creamy. This process will take 15-20 minutes. Stop the food processor every minute or so, and push almonds bits down the sides. Keep processing until smooth.
If you use unsalted nuts, you may want to add a smidgen of salt. Be patient. This takes some time to become creamy.
Notes
As the food processor runs, stop it about every minute or so to scrape down the sides. The almond crumbs will climb up the sides until it starts to cream.
One option is to roast your almonds before processing. This will make it creamy quicker. I used regular un-roasted almonds.
Another option is to soak your almonds first. Let them dry, and then process.
Be patient, because the oils will eventually be released and the almonds WILL become a nut butter.
The longer your let the food processor run, the creamier it becomes.
