These are the star of the show, if you've never had toasted hazelnuts before, try some, try some right now and you shall discover the secret to nutella. After you uncover the wonder all you have to do is add some chocolate, some sweet and some skim milk, and then bam! You have clean homemade nutella! This stuff is awesome! I made some, intending it for a gift and immediately decided I would keep the batch... and then make some more for a friend.
Homemade Nutella
Ingredients:
1 cup hazelnuts
1 tsp safflower oil
4 T date syrup
4 T cocoa powder
4+ T milk (Or more depending on how thick/thin you want it. I used skim milk)
1 T liquid espresso (optional but highly encouraged)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 dash of salt
Preheat the oven to 350. Toast the hazelnuts for about 15 minutes, the skins will start to blacken and fall off. Remove shells for a smoother texture. You can easily remove them by rubbing them in between your palms/paper towel. In a food processor, pulse the nuts into a powder, with the oil. Then add all the remaining ingredients and mix until a paste forms. Feel free to add a bit more milk if you think it’s too thick. Just add a bit at a time. This recipe makes a pretty small batch so feel free to double it. Store in the fridge. I would imagine it to keep for a couple of weeks. That is, if it lasts that long ;)
