How do I get the right consistency for dips and spreads?
The consistency can be adjusted by adding more or less liquid. For thicker dips and spreads, use less liquid. For thinner consistency, add more liquid like oil, milk or water. Start with small amounts and blend, then check consistency and adjust as needed.
What can I do if my nut butter is too dry?
If your nut butter is too dry or thick, add a touch more oil or milk to help loosen it up. Start with 1 tablespoon at a time until reaching the desired consistency. Blend again after each addition of liquid.
Should ingredients be raw or roasted?
You can use raw, roasted, or cooked ingredients. Raw will provide more texture, roasted provides deeper flavor, and cooked is softer. Try a combo of raw and roasted for a balance.
