DESCRIPTION

This smooth and creamy vegan nutella is so simple to make at home with just 4 basic ingredients. Featuring roasted hazelnuts, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Spread it on your toasts - Or drizzle over pancakes, crepes, and more. It's way better than store bought!

INGREDIENTS
  

  • 3 cups hazelnuts
  • 1 ½ tablespoon coca powder
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • water as needed

METHOD
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Spread out hazelnuts on a baking sheet, and roast them for 10 minutes to bring out the oils making it easier to blend.
    Note: If you have hazelnuts with the skin, then place them on a kitchen towel after roasting, and let them cool off for 10 minutes. Then bring the sides of the towel up around the nuts and rub off the loose skin as much as possible.
  • Transfer the hazelnuts into a high speed blender or food processor. Blitz in 1 minute sessions as you scrap down the sides after each session. Keep blending till you achieve a smooth buttery consistency.
    Note: This process can take about 10-15 minutes, depending on the type of blender. You may need to give your blender a break in between to avoid over-heating.
  • Once your hazelnut butter is ready - Add all the remaining ingredients, and blend again. If the nutella is too thick, then add little water and blend again.
    Note: Do not add too much water at once. Just add 1-2 tablespoon(s) at a time till you obtain the desired consistency.
  • Use immediately or transfer in an air-tight container, and store in the refrigerator.

NOTES

  • Be Patient with Blending: The blending process can take time, but it’s worth it for a smooth, creamy texture!
  • Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter spread, add more maple syrup gradually to avoid making it too sweet.
  • Avoid Overheating the Blender: Blend your vegan nutella in intervals to prevent the motor from overheating, especially if your blender isn’t high-powered.
  • Check the Consistency: If the Nutella is too thick after chilling, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before spreading it on your toast or other treats.
