Step-by-step recipe for making chocolate spread with nuts:
1. Pour milk into a saucepan, place on the stove and heat to warm temperature. Pour in the flour (it is advisable to sift it through a fine sieve) and mix well with a whisk so that there are no lumps. Continue heating food.
2. Then add sugar and cocoa powder, which is also better to sift.
3. Continuously stir the food vigorously, bringing the milk to a boil. As soon as you see the first bubbles, it means that the milk has boiled. Remove the saucepan from the stove and add the butter. Stir well with a whisk or spoon so that it completely dissolves and spreads throughout the mass.
4. Pierce the walnuts in a hot, clean, dry frying pan and add to the paste. Nuts can be ground into powder on a coffee grinder, or chopped into medium pieces with a knife. This is the cook's choice, so do as you like. Stir the food well and leave to cool to room temperature in a saucepan. Then transfer to a glass container, seal with a lid and send to the refrigerator, where soak the paste for at least an hour so that it cools and completely freezes. Its consistency will become viscous and stringy.
5. This chocolate paste can be used not only for breakfast, but also for baking pies and muffins, pancake filling, cake decorating, etc.
