Homemade Nutella Recipe
An easy to make, super tasty recipe that is a healthy version of the store bought Nutella.
Servings: 1 1/2 cups approx
Ingredients
- 1 cup hazelnuts
- 125 ml coconut milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon macadamia oil or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- Allow to cool and then rub the hazelnuts between your hands to remove the skins. Most will come off pretty easily, but if a few remain that is fine. The skins are bitter so it is best to remove as much as possible.
- Put the nuts into a food processor and process until fine. The finer the nuts, the smoother the end result will be so if you don't mind a few chunks no need to be too particular.
- Add all the remaining ingredients. Process until smooth and well mixed. Spoon into a clean jar and store in the fridge. If the mixture is a bit runny, it will harden on refrigeration.
Notes
- To make a sugar-free version of this recipe, replace the maple syrup with rice syrup.
- Cocoa powder can be used as a substitute for cacao powder.
- To make a Nutella 'sauce', simply add more coconut milk to the desired consistency.
