Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Hazelnuts
- 100 grams Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, until they are lightly browned and fragrant.
Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly. While they are still warm, transfer them onto a clean kitchen towel and rub them to remove the skins. This can be a slightly messy process, but get as much of the skin off as you can.
Place the skinned hazelnuts in a food processor and blend until they form a smooth, creamy paste. This should take about 3-5 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
While the hazelnuts are processing, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Add the melted chocolate to the hazelnut paste in the food processor.
Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture.
Blend everything together until smooth and creamy. This will take another 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust the sweetness or cocoa content if desired.
Transfer the nutella to a sterilized jar or airtight container.
Store at room temperature for up to two weeks, or in the refrigerator for up to one month. Serve spread on toast, with pancakes, or use in your favorite recipes.
