Ingredients

300 g Raw Macadamia Nuts
2 tablespoon Cacao Powder
¾ teaspoon Orange Essence
The Zest of 1 Large Jaffa Orange.
2 tablespoon Maple Syrup
1 teaspoon Vanilla Paste

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Put the Macadamia Nuts into the Blender and start on a low speed.
300 g Raw Macadamia Nuts
Each time that the nuts push up the sides of the blender and away from the blade, stop the machine so you can scrape the contents down towards the blade.
Using a spatula, scrape down the nut blend towards the blades and then continue to blend on a low speed.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the nut butter is a becoming a fairly smooth consistency.
Increase the speed slightly to help make the Nut Butter as smooth as possible.
Once the Nut Butter is at a consistency where it seems to no longer be changing, stop the blender and add the rest of the ingredients to the Nut Butter.
2 tablespoon Cacao Powder, ¾ teaspoon Orange Essence, The Zest of 1 Large Jaffa Orange., 2 tablespoon Maple Syrup, 1 teaspoon Vanilla Paste
Blend again until all of the ingredients are evenly mixed.

Notes

When making the nut butter you will find that you frequently have to scrape down the blended nuts from the sides of the jug and back towards the centre.
