Equipment

  • High-powered blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened milk of choice (I used almond milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Add 1 cup chopped dark chocolate to a pot on the stove set to low heat.
  • Cook, stirring constantly until the chocolate has melted, then immediately remove the pot from the heat.
  • Add the melted dark chocolate, 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts, 3/4 cup unsweetened milk of choice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to a high-powered blender.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Transfer that mixture to a bowl, then refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • The texture is light and mousse-like when served immediately after chilling for 30 minutes. You can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days, but the texture becomes firmer the longer it is refrigerated. It's still delicious as leftovers despite the firmer texture.
