Ingredients
Nutella Spread
- 1 cup dry-roasted hazelnuts (unsalted)
- 1 cup semi-sweet dairy-free chocolate chips
- 2 tsp pure maple syrup
- Pinch of fine sea salt
Instructions
- Blend Hazelnuts: In a food processor, blend the dry-roasted hazelnuts until smooth and creamy, which will take about 10 to 12 minutes. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even blending.
- Melt Chocolate: In a small saucepan, bring about 2 inches of water to a low simmer over low heat. Place a heatproof bowl on top, ensuring its bottom does not touch the water. Add the dairy-free chocolate chips to the bowl and gently melt them, stirring frequently, until completely smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals stirring after each until fully melted.
- Combine Ingredients: Transfer the melted chocolate to the food processor along with the maple syrup and a pinch of sea salt. Process the mixture until smooth, about 5 minutes. If the mixture firms up when adding chocolate, it means the hazelnuts were not blended enough; continue processing on high speed for about 10 more minutes until the mixture becomes soft and silky smooth.
- Store and Serve: Transfer the creamy vegan Nutella to a jar. It can be served immediately or kept at room temperature for up to 10 days. Enjoy spreading it on toast, crepes, or drizzling over pancakes.
Notes
- Storage: Store the Nutella in a jar at room temperature for up to 10 days.
- Hazelnut Preparation: If using raw hazelnuts, toast them on a baking sheet at 350°F (180°C) for 12 to 15 minutes until fragrant and blistered. While warm, wrap the nuts in a kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove most skins. Let cool completely before using.
- Consistency Tips: Keep the spread at room temperature. If it hardens, gently warm the jar in the microwave in 15- to 30-second intervals until it reaches a silky smooth texture.
