Chef's Notes

  • If using raw almonds, you will need to add 1/4 cup of oil to create a creamy texture.
  • If you choose to roast your own raw almonds, ensure that they are roasted at 350°F for at least 10-15 minutes, and then cooled to room temperature before blending. This toasting, combined with blending on high speed, is what allows the natural oils to be released from inside the nuts, and is vital for creating a smooth texture instead of a paste.
