HOW TO MAKE ALMOND BUTTER BARFI BARS
The next few paragraphs go through the steps to prepare each individual layer. Think of it a little like preparing a cheesecake!
Firstly, we need to prepare our homemade Almond Butter. We have used raw almonds but you can also use blanched almonds.
You will need:
Raw Almonds – use good quality almonds that are in date and do not smell rancid. The better the quality, the tastier the almond butter.
Optional: coconut oil – coconut oil is optional when making almond butter. To help the process, adding a spoon of melted coconut oil will help you get smooth almond butter
A blender
How to make Homemade Almond Butter in your food processor or blender
We have used our incredible Magimix 4200XL to achieve the smoothest almond butter and ground blanched almond flour.
Place the raw almonds in the maxi bowl and blend on the highest setting.
It took us approx 4-5 minutes to achieve butter consistency.
Next, we need to make our ground almonds.
We have used blanched almonds so that the colour stays creamy.
How to blanch almonds?
Blanch raw almonds by adding a cup full of raw almonds in boiling water. Do not cook for more than 1 minute.
Remove and rinse under the running cold water, so they stop cooking further.
Lay all the almonds on a clean kitchen towel, pat dry then remove the skin.
Air dry for 10-12 hours.
