Description

A healthier take on the classic hazelnut spread. Rich, chocolatey, and surprisingly easy to make from scratch.


Ingredients

Units
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • 3 oz (85 g) Dark chocolate
  • 6 oz (170 g) Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 2.5 oz (70 g) Hazelnuts

Instructions

  1. Toast the hazelnuts in the oven at 350°F (177°C) for 3-4 minutes, or dry roast them in a pan.
  2. Add the cooled, toasted hazelnuts to a food processor; pulse for 2-3 minutes until finely ground. Scrape down the sides and blade, and process until no lumps remain. Continue processing until a thick paste forms.
  3. Melt chocolate, condensed milk, and honey in a double boiler over stovetop or in a microwave in 20-second intervals.
  4. Add the warm chocolate mixture to the food processor and mix well.

Notes

  • For a smoother Nutella, use a high-powered blender or food processor.
  • Store your homemade Nutella in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • If you don’t have sweetened condensed milk, you can substitute it with a mixture of equal parts whole milk and powdered sugar.
