Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Spread 450 g raw shelled almonds in one layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
Roast 10–14 minutes, stirring once, until centers are fragrant; cool until pleasantly warm rather than hot.
Add all warm almonds to a sturdy food processor. Process for 8–15 minutes, pausing to scrape the sides and rest the motor as needed; texture progresses from meal to clumps to glossy butter.
Add 2 g fine salt, the 10 ml avocado oil and all listed measured flavor components; blend just until evenly incorporated.
For the dark chocolate variation, stir in melted chocolate that has cooled to barely warm; do not pour scorching chocolate into nut paste.
Transfer into a clean dry jar, date it and refrigerate. Stir gently before use if natural oil separation occurs.

Tips

A powerful food processor matters: do not add excessive oil simply because the nuts have not yet released their own oils.
Avoid moisture contamination; use a clean dry spoon and refrigerate the finished flavored spread.
