The Spread That Won Over a Shark - 4 Ways to Use Cocoa Almond Butter
The spread that made a Shark reach for seconds.
India's Clean Nutella Alternative
Every Indian kid grows up with Nutella. That chocolatey, hazelnutty spread that goes on everything. But flip the label and you'll find sugar listed as the first ingredient, followed by palm oil.
We thought: what if you could have that same indulgent, chocolatey experience, but built on activated almonds, real cocoa, and hazelnuts? No added sugar. No palm oil. No compromise on taste.
That's Cocoa Almond Butter. And when Namita Thapar tried it on toasties during Shark Tank India Season 5, she didn't just taste it, she went back for more.
1. Cocoa Hazelnut Toasties (The Shark Tank Recipe)
This is the recipe that got the reaction. Warm, crispy bread with a thick layer of Cocoa Almond Butter melting into every bite. Simple, satisfying, and completely addictive.
Namita Thapar's verdict? She couldn't stop at one. When a Shark who's tasted everything tells you it's good, it's good.
How to make it
- Toast two slices of bread (sourdough or multigrain work best)
- Spread a generous layer of Cocoa Almond Butter while the bread is still warm
- Let it melt for 10-15 seconds
- Slice diagonally and serve

2. The Chocolate Yogurt Bowl
Yogurt bowls are everywhere, but most of them are boring. Add a drizzle of Cocoa Almond Butter and suddenly you have something that looks like a dessert but eats like breakfast.
The activated almonds are overnight soaked and peeled for better digestion, so you're getting good fats without the heaviness. Pair with fresh fruit, granola, and puffed rice for crunch.
How to make it
- Start with a generous bowl of thick yogurt (Greek or hung curd)
- Warm 2 tablespoons of Cocoa Almond Butter and drizzle in a crosshatch pattern
- Top with sliced strawberries, chopped fruit, puffed rice, and granola
- Finish with crushed almonds or cocoa nibs for extra crunch
3. Layered Chocolate Fruit Cups
This one looks like you spent an hour on it. You didn't. Layer fruit, granola, and Cocoa Almond Butter in a glass and you've got a snack that's rich in antioxidants from real cocoa nibs and looks like it belongs on a cafe menu.
Perfect for after-school snacks, dinner party desserts, or that 4 PM craving that won't go away.
How to make it
- Layer the bottom of a glass with sliced strawberries
- Add a layer of granola and cocoa nibs
- Spoon a thick layer of Cocoa Almond Butter on top
- Repeat layers if the glass allows, finish with a final drizzle on top
4. Loaded Chocolate Pancakes
Pancakes don't need maple syrup. They need Cocoa Almond Butter. A thick spread on warm pancakes, loaded with fresh fruit, and you've got a weekend breakfast that feels special without any added sugar.
The spread melts beautifully on warm pancakes, creating that gooey chocolate experience kids (and let's be honest, adults) live for.
How to make it
- Make your favourite pancakes (banana oat pancakes work great)
- While warm, spread a thick layer of Cocoa Almond Butter on each
- Top with sliced banana, grapes, kiwi, and strawberries
- Serve with a side of fresh fruit
