Description

Healthy Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (Homemade Nutella) – a rich, delicious, and wholesome homemade recipe perfect for making a small jar of goodness!

Ingredients

  • 200 g (1 1/3 cups) hazelnuts, or hazelnut butter
  • 70 g (3 1/2 tbsp) honey, or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 40 g (1/4 cup chopped) dark chocolate (70%)
  • 40 ml (3 tbsp) hazelnut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 302°F (150°C). Spread the whole hazelnuts (with the skin) on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  2. Roast the hazelnuts in the oven for about 10 minutes, then let them cool for a few minutes.
  3. To remove the skins, rub the hazelnuts between your hands or inside a tea towel until most of the skin comes off.
  4. Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it using a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  5. Place the roasted hazelnuts in a blender or food processor and blend for 5-7 minutes, pausing every 2 minutes to prevent overheating, until a smooth hazelnut paste forms. (You can skip this step if you're using store-bought hazelnut puree.)
  6. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, hazelnut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender. Blend again until fully combined and smooth.
  7. Pour in the melted chocolate and blend once more until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  8. If the spread appears grainy, add a small amount of hazelnut oil and blend again until smooth.
  9. Transfer the chocolate hazelnut spread to a jar with a lid and store it at room temperature for up to 2-3 weeks.

Equipment

Notes

Storage: Keep your chocolate hazelnut spread in a glass jar at room temperature for 2-3 weeks. For longer storage, refrigerate it (it will thicken, but you can warm it slightly to soften) or freeze it for up to 3 months.

Tips: 

 

  1. Roast hazelnuts to enhance their flavor.
  2. Blend until completely smooth, adding a little oil if needed.
  3. Adjust sweetness to taste with honey or maple syrup.
  4. Use a clean spoon to keep it fresh longer.
