DIY Nutella Ingredients: -- 1 cup hazelnuts -- ¼ cup light coconut milk -- 60 grams 72% dark chocolate (chopped) or ¼ cup cocoa powder How to make it: -- Heat oven to 300°F (150°C) -- Line a baking tray with baking paper, spread the hazelnuts on it evenly, then place baking sheet in the preheated oven. -- Roast for 10 minutes then remove from oven. -- While hazelnuts are still warm, rub them with a damp dish towel or paper towel to remove some of the skins (they have a bitter taste). -- Add hazelnuts to a blender or food processor and blend until they form into a nut butter (you may have to stir in between). -- Create a double-boiler on the stove by filling a saucepan 1⁄3 of the way with water and bring to a boil and then lower to a simmer. Take a smaller saucepan and place it inside the larger saucepan (if the water comes up too high from the bottom pan, pour some out). -- Add chocolate and coconut milk to smaller saucepan and stir constantly until chocolate melts. -- Pour chocolate mixture into the blender with the hazelnut butter and blend until combined. If you want a smoother “nutella” you can continue to blend until desired consistency is achieved. -- Pour nutella into a jar and seal with a lid!
