Hazelnut chocolate spread
Gosh, we adore homemade spread. Sure, we usually make salty spreads, like guacamole or fish pate, but sweet spreads are no joke either, they can be extremely delicious. This homemade hazelnut chocolate spread or “homemade Nutella” is easy to make, made in just a couple of minutes, and made of simple ingredients that can be found in any store. The spread is thick and delicious, however, we need to mention that it’s not as creamy and silky as store-bought Nutella because we don’t have the necessary equipment.

METHOD

  • roasted hazelnuts

    First, roast your hazelnuts. Preheat the oven to 200 °C or 390 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and add your hazelnuts in a single layer. Place in the middle of the oven and roast for 10 - 12 minutes, then remove from the oven and wrap in a kitchen towel to remove the skin. Rub nuts in a towel to remove loose skins or use a salad spinner. Fill the salad spinner with the roasted hazelnuts and spin a couple of times until the skin loosens.

  • make the hazelnut chocolate spread

    Add roasted hazelnuts, icing sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder to a bowl of a stand mixer or blender. Pulse for a couple of times at high speed. After each pulse, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl using a spatula, then pulse again until you get a sand-like mixture. It will take about 5 minutes of pulsing to achieve that. Add the canola oil and melted chocolate and mix again until combined.

  • Transfer your homemade Hazelnut Chocolate Spread to a jar or airtight container. Close the jar or container and store at room temperature (in your pantry) for up to a month or serve with bread, pancakes, or crepes.
