Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 cups roasted hazelnuts (skins removed)
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup superfine caster sugar*
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Add the hazelnuts to a food processor and blend until smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Add cocoa powder, salt, and sugar to the nut butter and blend until evenly incorporated. Keep it stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.
Notes
*We use caster sugar because it has small granules that help to cut down on the graininess of the Nutella. Regular sugar will work fine as well, it just may end up a tad gritty. You can also experiment with a liquid sweetener of choice, like agave, maple syrup or honey.
Make sure to blend up your hazelnuts until they're as smooth as possible. We found that after about 3 minutes, the resulting nut butter didn't get much smoother.
For an even smoother consistency, you can use a high speed blender, but it may be more difficult to get it to blend.
