Description
This homemade Nutella is a rich, creamy chocolate-hazelnut spread made with real roasted hazelnuts, melted chocolate, and a hint of vanilla. It’s smooth, glossy, and deeply satisfying—perfect for toast, fruit, or baking.
Ingredients
1 cup roasted hazelnuts
4 ounces dark chocolate
4 ounces milk chocolate
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
1. Roast hazelnuts at 350°F for 10–12 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
2. Rub the skins off using a kitchen towel. Some bits will remain, and that’s fine.
3. Add the hazelnuts to a high-speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
4. Melt the chocolates gently in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in 15-second bursts. Stir until smooth.
5. Add the melted chocolate, oil, vanilla, sugar (if using), and salt to the hazelnut butter. Blend again until glossy and smooth.
6. Adjust consistency with more oil if needed.
7. Pour into a clean jar and store refrigerated for up to one month. Let it sit at room temp before spreading.
Notes
Roast your hazelnuts until golden to maximize flavor.
Use real chocolate, not just cocoa powder, for richness and shine.
If the spread thickens too much in the fridge, let it sit at room temperature or stir in a little more oil.
