Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Hazelnuts
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 100 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa, melted)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (neutral flavor like sunflower oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the hazelnuts in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the skins begin to darken and crack, and the nuts become fragrant. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and transfer them to a clean kitchen towel. Rub the hazelnuts vigorously inside the towel to remove as much of the skins as possible. It's okay if some skins remain.
Add the peeled hazelnuts to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high until the hazelnuts turn into a smooth, creamy butter. This may take 5–10 minutes, and you may need to stop and scrape down the sides occasionally.
Once the hazelnut butter is smooth, add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, melted dark chocolate, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend again until the mixture is silky smooth and well-combined.
Taste the spread and adjust the sweetness or salt level to your preference if needed.
Transfer the chocolate hazelnut spread to a clean, airtight jar or container. Let it cool completely before sealing the jar.
Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Stir well before use, as natural separation may occur.
