Making nut butter requires practice, so if you are new to your re:Mix, we highly suggest that you start getting the hang of it first with other recipes.
So far we had great results making nut butter with: almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts and cashew nuts.
If you experiment with other nuts, let us know! We are glad to hear your feedback and share your recipe on our food page!
What you need:
The nuts of choice
Straight-wall Jar of 435ml or 270ml (if you use bigger jars, it might be difficult to achieve the best creamy texture)
IMPORTANT: We define jars as straight-wall ones when their walls present no curves from thread to bottom.
What to do:
Fill up the jar entirely with your nuts. Just leave the space for the blades to fit in.
Always use roasted nuts (peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, etc.). You can roast them yourself for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees in the oven (static option). Or in the pan for 15-20 minutes at medium heat while keeping stirring the nuts.
(You can also buy roasted nuts and skip this passage)
After roasting your nuts, let them cool for just a few minutes. You should blend the nuts while they are still warm. Blending the nuts when they are still warm makes it easy for the fat contained to mix and create the desired creamy texture.
Blend continuously for the first 2 minutes at speed 1, then leave to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Blend again for 2 minutes. This should be enough.
We advise you to run the re:Mix non-stop for the first 2 minutes. This is to avoid interrupting the butter making process.
If needed, add a spoon of coconut oil to help the blades remain lubricated
IMPORTANT: If the blades are left spinning "in the air" with no ingredients opposing resistance, your blades head could overheat in less than 2 minutes.
If you blend nuts and do not fill the jar enough, the ingredients might spread to the wall, leaving the blades spinning in the air, and since the blades are not visible, the only way to keep an eye on that is to listen to the sound of your re:Mix while blending.
When the blades spin "in the air", the sound tends to be much higher-pitched and louder.
Therefore, you should never leave your re:Mix alone while blending, and you should always supervise your mixing.
Leaving your re:Mix turned on alone is to avoid in any case.
