How to Make Chocolate Cashew Spread
- Melt 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and melted. Remove from heat immediately.
- Stir the melted chocolate until completely smooth and glossy.
- Allow the chocolate to cool slightly.
- While the chocolate cools, add 1 cup of raw cashews to a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Process the cashews until they reach a fine crumb consistency, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter, softened, to the food processor.
- Process until the cashew mixture is nearly smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Transfer the cashew mixture to a medium-sized bowl.
- Gently fold in the cooled melted chocolate until fully combined.
- Allow the Chocolate Cashew Spread to cool completely at room temperature to allow it to thicken. Stir again before serving.
- Serve your decadent spread at room temperature on croissants, muffins, biscuits, or enjoy it straight from the bowl!
