Ingredients

  • 600 g (4 cups) almonds, roasted, unsalted

  2. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed.
  3. Use the tamper to press the ingredients into the blades.

Notes

If using raw almonds you will need to use cup of oil or liquid create a creamy texture. if choose roast your own ensure that they are roasted at for least minutes. this toasting combined with blending on high speed is what allows the natural oils be released from inside nuts and vital creating smooth texture instead paste.
