Whipped Almond Berry Cheesecake Spread

This unique almond spread is whipped to create a “cheesecake-like” texture to deliver a future-forward snack used as a spread on crackers, dip for fruit or inclusion in a bar. Sweetened with dehydrated raspberries and raspberry puree, the whole blanched almonds are combined with almond milk to create a multi-purpose base with the option to customize flavors and develop product lines.

Ingredients
Serves: 40
  • 8 oz Blanched almonds, whole
  • 2 fl oz Almond milk, unsweetened
  • 1 fl oz Coconut milk
  • 2 oz Raspberry fruit puree
  • 0.50 oz Freeze dried raspberries, whole
  • 0.08 oz Almond extract
Preparation
  1. Place whole blanched almonds in a container and cover with warm filtered water. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours, to soak and soften the almonds.
  2. Strain soaked almonds in a colander, draining the soaking water. Rinse almonds with cold water and allow to drain again.
  3. Pat almonds dry and place in a robot coupe (fitted with a metal S blade) or food processor along with the coconut oil. Puree almonds & oil until they start to form a smooth, blond color almond paste. This takes around 12 minutes.
  4. While the robot coupe/food processor is running; add the almond milk, raspberry puree, freeze dried raspberries and almond extract. Puree until the mixture is silky smooth and resembles a "cheesecake-like" consistency and flavor.
  5. Place the Whipped Almond Berry Cheesecake Spread in a sealed container and reserve refrigerated for approximately 30 minutes before consuming.
