Nutella…roasted hazelnuts, creamy melted chocolate, silky powdered sugar all blended together to create the most amazing, delicious chocolate spread I HAVE EVER HAD. 🙂 

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups of Hazelnuts (see note)
  • 2 tbsp of Avocado Oil
  • 1 cup of Powdered Sugar
  • 3 tbsp of Dutch Process Cocoa Powder
  • 2 tsp of Vanilla Extract
  • 8 oz of Melted Chocolate (see note)
  • 2 pinches of Salt

Instructions

  1. See the note concerning the hazelnuts. If using raw hazelnuts preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and let them roast until they are golden brown. If using pre-roasted and not heating up, skip to next step.
  2. In a microwave safe container, place the chocolate and microwave on 30 second intervals, stirring in-between times until it has melted.
  3. Place the hazelnuts in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy and has a nut butter like consistency.
  4. Slowly drizzle in the avocado oil while processing until throughly combined.
  5. Add in the remaining ingredients- cocoa powder, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and melted chocolate.
  6. Process until everything is throughly combined and it is creamy with a nut-butter consistency. 
  7. Please note that it will thicken up upon cooling.
  8. Store in an airtight container, on the counter for a few weeks (see note).
  9. Spread on toast, dip in fruit, and more!

Notes

1. Hazelnuts-

  1. You can buy them in the shell, raw. If doing this you will need to shell them, chop them, and roast them in the oven at 350 degrees F until golden brown.
  2. You can buy pre-roasted chopped. This is what I did. However, I roasted them a little extra in the oven. I find that I like them a little more toasted, plus heating them up makes processing them into nut butter a lot quicker and easier.

2. Any kind of chocolate can be used. I prefer the semi-sweet that’s usually used for baking. Milk chocolate is traditionally used for Nutella though. 🙂

3. Please note that you may not want to store it in the refrigerator because it will make it harden and will be impossible to spread.
