Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Hazelnuts
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Powdered erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Spread the hazelnuts evenly across the baking tray and roast them in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly golden. Be sure to stir them halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Once roasted, remove the hazelnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, transfer them to a clean kitchen towel and rub to remove as much of the skins as possible. This step improves the texture and flavor.
Place the peeled hazelnuts into a food processor and blend until they become a smooth paste, which may take about 5-7 minutes. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor.
Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt, and powdered erythritol to the hazelnut paste, and blend until fully combined.
Melt the coconut oil in a microwave or small saucepan until liquid, then add it to the mixture in the food processor.
Gradually add the unsweetened almond milk while continuing to blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth. You can adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk if needed.
Taste your homemade Nutella and adjust sweetness or flavorings as preferred.
Transfer the Sugar-Free Homemade Nutella to a clean glass jar or airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Let it come to room temperature before use for a more spreadable consistency.
