Makes 8

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 cup raw hazelnuts

2 Natvia Natural Sweetener

2 cocoa powder

2 sheets store-bought puff pastry

1 egg, lightly whisked

200 g flour

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180ºC. In a food processor, or high-powered blender, place raw hazelnuts. Pulse, scraping the sides down regularly, until a thick nut butter forms. This can take between 15-25 minutes, depending on your appliance. Nuts will become a crumb first and then release their oils to transform into a smooth paste, so be patient!
  2. Add in the sweetener and cocoa powder and process again until combined. If the nut butter is too thick, two teaspoons of peanut oil can be blended in to thin it out to a spreadable consistency.
  3. Cut square of defrosted pastry in half, into a rectangle. Within each rectangle, cut diagonally from corner to corner, creating two triangles – or four in total for the sheet.
  4. Spoon approximately one tablespoon of nut butter on the wider end of the pastry triangle and spread upwards for about one third of the pastry. From the larger end, roll pastry up. Bend sides to make a croissant crescent shape.
  5. Place croissants on a tray lined with baking paper, and brush each one with the lightly beaten egg. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
