Pro Tips
• For a deeper, nuttier flavor, lightly toast the almonds and walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes before blending. Be sure to let them cool completely first.
• Taste the spread before chilling and add more of your preferred keto-friendly sweetener if desired, as sweetness can vary between brands.
• Store your spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften before use, as the coconut oil will cause it to harden.
