Ingredients
- 200 grams raw hazelnuts
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 40 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters skim milk
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Spread the hazelnuts evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 10 minutes, until fragrant and the skins begin to crack.
Step 3
Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, rub the hazelnuts between your hands or within a clean kitchen towel to remove the skins. Some skin may remain, but that's okay.
Step 4
Place the peeled hazelnuts in a food processor or high-speed blender. Process until they become a smooth paste, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides as necessary. This may take several minutes.
Step 5
Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt to the hazelnut paste. Blend until well combined.
Step 6
Slowly pour in the skim milk and continue to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the container a few times to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Step 7
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if desired, adding a bit more powdered sugar if needed.
Step 8
Transfer the homemade Nutella to a clean jar or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Step 9
Before use, allow the nutella to come to room temperature for easier spreading.
