Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw hazelnuts
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (e.g., sunflower or grapeseed oil)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the hazelnuts in the oven for 10 minutes, or until they are fragrant and the skins begin to crack and darken. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and transfer them to a clean kitchen towel. Rub the hazelnuts with the towel to remove as much of the skins as possible. It’s okay if some skins remain.
Place the peeled hazelnuts into a high-powered blender or food processor. Blend on high, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until the nuts break down into a smooth butter. This process may take 5-10 minutes.
Add the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and oil to the blender. Blend again until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy. Adjust sweetness or salt to taste, if desired.
Transfer the chocolate hazelnut butter to an airtight jar or container and let it cool completely before sealing. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Enjoy your homemade chocolate hazelnut butter on toast, as a dip for fruits, or in your favorite dessert recipes!
