Raw Almond Butter & White Almond Butter


Raw Almond Butter

This is my way to prepare raw  creamy almond butter without anything added. I need only time and real raw almonds from italy or spain since almonds from California are pasteurized. Soaked and dehydrated almonds have to be really really dry. Mine were not soaked this time.






                          Cooled the  TMX bowl outside the snow  :-) 





Ingredients:

450 g / 3 cups Raw Organic Almonds

Method:
  • Set TMX timer for 20 minutes and watch that temperature stays at 37 °C
  • Blend on speed 9-10 for 1 min 20sec  /speed 9-10 and switch to speed 4-5 for 2 min
  • Place your TMX bowl into the snow or into the freezer for 5 min
  • Blend  3 min 30 sec / speed 4 Rest for 5-10 min in snow or fridge
  • Blend  3 min 30 sec / speed 4 and rest for 1 hour in snow or fridge
  • Set timer and blend 10 - 20 min / speed 3-4

I always prepare with some remaining almond butter Antony's Quick Kelp Noodles with a Chilli-Almond Sauce without rinsing the bowl:



 
 
White Almond Butter
 
Costco has the freshest sliced almonds perfect for creamy white almond butter. The nut butter won't be raw this way since it will heat up up to 80 °C.
 
Ingredients:
500 g Sliced Almonds, frozen
 
Method:
  • Grind almonds 1 min / speed 10
  • Blend 10 min / speed 5
  • Blend 15 min / speed 4-5

  • Den Mixtopf fuer 5 Min in den Schnee oder Gefrierschrank stellen 
  • 3 Min 30 Sek / Stufe 4 mixen und fuer 5-10 Min in den Schnee oder Kuehlschrank stellen
  • 3 Min 30 Sek / Stufe 4 mixen und fuer 1 Stunde in Schnee oder Kuehlschrank
  • 10 - 20 Min / Stufe 3-4

Weisses Mandelmus

Das Mandelmus erhitzt sich bei dieser Variante auf bis zu 80 °C.

Zutaten:
5oo g gehobelte Mandeln, gefroren

Zubereitung:
  • Mandeln 1 Min / Stufe 10 mahlen

  5. Hi! I love your blog! So useful for me as a newbie with TMX and introducing me into raw foods!!
    I want to prepare tomorrow this recipe, though I'm finding the times a bit confusing... Wouldn't it be the same if I do the process by counting min and sec, at the speed and Temp required?
    On the other hand, would it work the same, with times and temps, if I use less weight of almonds?
    Thank you!!
    Isabel.

  6. Thanks Isabel. If its too confusing, try my other version with less almonds:
    250 g raw almonds blend them for 1 min / speed 10 and scrape down between. Place TMX bowl, incl. almonds, for 30 min in freezer and blend 10 min / speed 4

    Cheers,
    Elisabeth

  7. Hi I know you posted this over a year ago and I came accross your page from a web search. I like your almond butter recipe, but I am wondering how long does it keep for? Presuming in the fridge?

    Kind regards

    Amanda
