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!
