Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 ounces (1 cup) skinned hazelnuts
8 ounces semisweet chocolate
Baguette, optional if serving immediately
1/2 cup heavy cream
Sugar, large pinch, or more if you prefer a sweeter gianduia
4 tablespoons good quality salted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the hazelnuts out on small baking sheet or in an ovenproof skillet and toast them in the oven until they are a deep toasty brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and set aside to cool completely.Melt the chocolate in a heatproof medium bowl set over a pot of simmering water over medium-low heat, stirring often.If serving the Gianduia immediately, place your bread in a 350 degrees F oven for 12 minutes.
  • Grind the hazelnuts with the sugar in a food processor to a fairly smooth, buttery paste.
  • Once the chocolate is completely melted, remove it from the heat and whisk in the cream and butter. Stir in the ground hazelnuts. The gianduia will thicken and become soft and peanut butter-like as it cools. Pour the mixture into small jars, or store in a container with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Serve the gianduia with rustic slices of buttered toast.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I love this gianduia recipe. It's not too sweet and the榛子 flavor really shines through. I love using it as a filling for cannolis.

This gianduia recipe is a great way to use up leftover chocolate. I had some dark chocolate chips that I didn't know what to do with. I used them to make gianduia and it turned out great!

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the榛子 with sunflower seeds. The gianduia turned out great! It was just as delicious as the traditional version.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The gianduia was too thick and didn't spread well. I ended up throwing it out.

This recipe is a keeper! I love the rich, nutty flavor of the gianduia. I've used it to make chocolate truffles, chocolate mousse, and even chocolate chip cookies. It's always a hit.

I followed the recipe exactly and the gianduia turned out grainy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The gianduia was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still delicious. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
