Servings: 10
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Cuisine: Vegan
Ingredients:
- 1 cup raw hazelnuts
- 3 tablespoons raw cacao powder
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Equipment/Utensils Required:
- Food processor
- High-speed blender
- Nut milk bag or cheesecloth
Instructions:
- Begin by roasting the hazelnuts. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until fragrant and golden brown.
- Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, place them in a clean kitchen towel and rub them together to remove the skins. Don’t worry if not all the skins come off.
- Transfer the peeled hazelnuts to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend or process until they form a smooth, creamy nut butter, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the cacao powder, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt to the blender or food processor. Blend until all the ingredients are well combined and you have a smooth, creamy chocolate hazelnut spread.
- If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little more coconut oil or a splash of plant-based milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Once you’ve achieved the perfect texture, transfer the “Nutella” to a clean glass jar or airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
