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.

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.

This recipe is a solid 3 out of 5. It's not the best Nutella I've ever had, but it's definitely good enough for a quick snack or dessert.

I thought this recipe was okay. The Nutella was a bit grainy, but the flavor was good.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I'm not a very experienced cook, so I had trouble following the instructions.

I found this recipe to be too sweet. I had to reduce the amount of sugar by half to make it palatable.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The Nutella was too oily and the flavor was bland. I won't be making it again.

This Nutella recipe is a lifesaver! I have a nut allergy, so I can't eat store-bought Nutella. But this recipe is made with sunflower seeds instead of hazelnuts, so I can finally enjoy Nutella again.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the Nutella is delicious. I've been using it in all sorts of things, from sandwiches to smoothies.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The Nutella is so rich and chocolatey. I love spreading it on toast or using it as a dip for fruit.

I was skeptical about making my own Nutella, but I'm so glad I did. It's so delicious and creamy. I'll never buy store-bought Nutella again.

I've tried many homemade Nutella recipes, but this one is by far the best. The texture is perfect and the flavor is rich and chocolatey. It's also surprisingly easy to make.

This Nutella recipe is a game-changer! It's so easy to make and tastes even better than the store-bought stuff. I love that I can control the ingredients and make it as healthy or indulgent as I want.
