Nutella is a delicious chocolate and hazelnut spread that has been a favorite of people for decades. It is so versatile and can be used in a variety of ways, from spreading it on toast to using it as a frosting for cupcakes. But did you know that you can make Nutella at home? Here's how to do it.
Ingredients:
2 cups raw hazelnuts
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the hazelnuts out on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Once they're done, Take them out of the oven and allow them to totally cool.
Once the hazelnuts have cooled, place them in a food processor and pulse them until they turn into a smooth paste.
This should take about 5-10 minutes, depending on the power of your food processor.
Next, add in the powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Pulse the mixture until everything is well combined and smooth.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil. Keep processing the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. This may take another 5-10 minutes, depending on the power of your food processor.
Once the Nutella is smooth and creamy, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It should last for up to two weeks.
Tips:
Be patient! Making Nutella at home takes time, but the end result is worth it.
You can use blender instead if you don't have processor.Just be sure to scrape down the sides of the blender regularly to ensure everything gets mixed evenly.
You can adjust the sweetness of the Nutella by adding more or less powdered sugar.
If you want a creamier texture, you can add more vegetable oil.
There you have it! Making Nutella at home is a fun and easy way to enjoy this delicious spread. Plus, you can customize it to your liking by adjusting the sweetness and texture. Give it a try and see how it compares to the store-bought version. Enjoy!
