HOMEMADE NUTELLA® (CHOCOLATE-HAZELNUT SPREAD)



Homemade Nutella® (Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread) image

We were able to purchase fresh hazelnuts while in Portland last fall. This is one of the many ways to enjoy them. Hoping for a 'healthier' version of the store-bought variety, dark chocolate is used here with great results (for dark chocolate lovers) or it may be made with milk chocolate for the more traditional flavor.

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Sauce Recipes     Dessert Sauce Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup hazelnuts
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract, or more to taste
½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1 (12 ounce) bag dark chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Spread hazelnuts onto a baking sheet and roast in preheated oven until slightly browned and the skins are slightly blistered, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Spread a kitchen towel onto a flat work surface. Put the hazelnuts in the middle of the towel and wrap the towel around the nuts. Roll towel vigorously to strip the nuts from as much of the skins as you can remove. Discard skins and set nuts aside to cool completely.
  • Put hazelnuts in a food processor and grind into a paste; add sugar, canola oil, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Continue to process the mixture until it is as smooth as you can get it.
  • Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Pour chocolate into the food processor and blend into the hazelnut mixture. Use a spatula to transfer into a container with a tight-fitting lid, but cool completely at room temperature before sealing tightly.

1 cup heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

HAZELNUT-CHOCOLATE SPREAD



Hazelnut-Chocolate Spread image

This alternative to store-bought varieties is easy to make and irresistible spread on French bread or between cookies. It can also be used as a cake filling.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 10m

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

7 ounces blanched hazelnuts (1 1/2 cups), toasted
Coarse salt
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted

Steps:

  • Puree nuts and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor until mixture is the texture of peanut butter. Add sugar and chocolate; pulse until combined.
  • Bring to room temperature before using.

Tips for Making the Best Chocolate Spread:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the spread will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Use unsalted butter: This will allow you to control the saltiness of the spread. If you only have salted butter, use half the amount and add salt to taste.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate: This will cause the chocolate to seize and become grainy. Melt the chocolate slowly over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Add a little bit of oil: This will help to make the spread smooth and creamy. You can use any type of oil, but coconut oil and avocado oil are good choices.
  • Flavor the spread to your liking: You can add a variety of flavors to your chocolate spread, such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or chili powder. Get creative and experiment until you find a flavor combination that you love.
  • Store the spread properly: Chocolate spread will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator or up to 3 months in the freezer. Make sure to store the spread in an airtight container.

Conclusion:

Chocolate spread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be used as a spread on bread or toast, as a dip for fruit or crackers, or as an ingredient in baking and desserts. With these tips, you can make your own delicious chocolate spread at home. So get creative and experiment until you find a recipe that you love.
