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 8-10 minutes, until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Be careful not to burn them.
Remove the roasted 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 most of the skins. It's okay if some skins remain.
Transfer the hazelnuts to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until the nuts turn into a smooth butter, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. This process may take 5-7 minutes depending on your blender's power.
Add the cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the blender. Blend again until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy and smooth.
Taste the spread and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a bit more powdered erythritol, blending again to combine.
Transfer the chocolate hazelnut spread into a clean, airtight glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before using, as it may firm up when cold.
