Raztella - Nut free chocolate spread

Recipe's preparation

Raztella (nut free) Chocolate Spread

Add the sugar to the bowl and grind on speed 10 for 10 seconds.  

Add the chocolate and grind on speed 10 for 5 seconds - set sugar/chocolate mixture aside

Add the raspberries and a little of the milk and then grind on speed 10 for 30 seconds - you may need to scrape down the mixture a few times to get it all ground.  This will grind the raspberry pips into small pieces.  If you don't mind the raspberry pips, then you can miss out this step.

Add the rest of the ingredients, including the chocolate and sugar mixture.

Cook for 7 minutes for fresh raspberries, 8 minute for frozen ones, at 50oC on speed 4.

It's quite a soft spread, and lets face it, not terribly nutritious.... BUT delicious!  And because it is so soft, it is not only fantastic on toast and bread (and scones!!) it is great as a really flash icing for cakes!

Note: Because raspberries are fruit, they won't keep as long as the nut version will.  SO - make it and put in small containers and pop in the freezer - take out when needed (or eat it all in a week!)

Note: an alternative to raspberries can be dried fruits - such as apricots or cranberries - but note that the dried fruit will soak up the liquid in the mixture.  Either enjoy the more sollid spread, or add 30% more milk.
