Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the raw almonds and hazelnuts evenly on a baking sheet.
Toast the nuts in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Allow them to cool slightly.
Once cooled, transfer the toasted nuts to a food processor. Process on high speed for 3-5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed until a smooth nut butter forms.
Add unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, erythritol, coconut oil, almond milk, protein powder, and a pinch of salt to the food processor.
Blend the mixture for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and the spread is smooth and creamy.
Taste the spread and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more erythritol to suit your taste.
Transfer the Keto Nutty Chocolate Protein Spread to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Serve as a spread on keto-friendly bread, as a dip for fruits like strawberries, or enjoy straight from the jar!
