First of all, the colour of your butter will change to a light brown. It will resemble a hazelnut spread.
However, in terms of taste, the chocolate macadamia nut butter will taste richer and more intense. It will pair excellently with a piece of bread or as a topping on cakes.
If you are unsatisfied with the consistency of the macadamia nut butter, you can also add a spoonful of coconut oil. The coconut oil won't impact the flavour if it's unscented.
If you would like to add a more exotic flavour to your butter, then definitely go for a fragrant coconut oil. You'll feel like you're eating something from a tropical island.
Lastly, for extra flavour, you can add a bit of vanilla bean and a dab of honey.

Macadamia Nut Butter
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Yield: 32 servings 1x
Description
This Macadamia Nut Butter recipe is vegan and delicious. Macadamias have the perfect buttery texture, hence they are ideal to use in a nut butter.
Instructions
- Place the macadamia nuts in a strong food processor or blender and blitz on the lowest setting.
- Continue blitzing until a crumble forms before slowly adjusting the speed higher and higher. Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the container. You might need to press the nuts down with a blender stick to ensure that the nuts are processed evenly.
- The nut butter is finished when it’s perfectly smooth on the highest setting. Of course, you can stop at an earlier stage for a crunchy nut butter!
- Store in tupperware or mason jars at room temperature for no more than 3 months.
Notes
- The above recipe is for the purest form of macadamia nut butter. You can add all types of flavourings to go with it, e.g. cocoa powder, maple syrup or vanilla extract. You can even combine it with other nuts!
- You can easily make roasted macadamia nut butter. Preheat the oven to 160°C / 325°F. Arrange the nuts in one layer on a baking sheet. Cook for 10-12 minutes. Wait for the nuts to cool down, then proceed to blend them in the food processor.
- Did you know? Macadamia nut milk isn’t readily available but you can easily make your own once you have the nut butter. Just mix 30ml (2 tbsp) of nut butter with 500ml (2 cups) of water. Voila!
