Ingredients for the homemade peanut protein cream:
- 10.5 oz roasted peanuts (unsalted)
- 1 pinch fine salt (optional)

- 1 teaspoon erythritol (optional, if you want it slightly sweet))
Tools for the homemade peanut protein cream:
- 1 Mixer
- 1 Jar
Steps to make homemade peanut protein cream:
If the peanuts are not already roasted, place them in the oven at 356°F for 8/10 minutes or in a pan for a few minutes, stirring often. This process helps to intensify the flavor of the peanuts and make the cream smoother.
Put the peanuts in the mixer and then blend in pulses.
After a couple of minutes, they will start to release their natural oil, continue blending, stopping occasionally to scrape the sides with a spatula.
After 4/5 minutes, the cream will be smooth and creamy. If it seems too dense, you can add 1 teaspoon of peanut or seed oil. If you prefer it slightly sweet, incorporate a teaspoon of erythritol and mix well.
Pour the obtained cream into a clean glass jar and store at room temperature in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and direct light. In the refrigerator, it lasts up to 4 weeks but may become denser; if necessary, mix well before use or leave it at room temperature for a few minutes before using.
With this amount of peanuts, you will get 250/270 grams of cream.
