Homemade Nutella
Description
The Homemade Nutella recipe centers on hazelnuts toasted to enhance their flavor and develop a natural oil that helps create the spread's smooth texture. Cocoa powder adds chocolate richness while powdered sugar sweetens the mixture without graininess. A pinch of salt balances the sweetness and emphasizes the nutty and chocolate notes.
Processing the ingredients in a food processor for several minutes ensures the paste becomes creamy and spreadable. The process may require scraping down the sides to achieve uniform consistency. This method produces a spread similar in texture to store-bought Nutella but with fewer additives.
This spread works well on toast, pancakes, or as an ingredient in baking. Storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator helps maintain freshness for up to a month, but it should be allowed to come to room temperature before serving for easier spreading.
Ingredients
- 2 cups hazelnut skinned
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 5 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes.
- Transfer warm hazelnuts into a food processor fitted with the blade.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend until a smooth paste forms, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. It could take up to 5 minutes depending on your food processor.
Notes
- Store homemade Nutella in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month.
- Allow the spread to warm to room temperature before serving for easier spreading.
- Toasting hazelnuts is key to developing their flavor and natural oils for a smooth spread.
