Homemade Nutella

What you need:

    • 2 1/2 cups raw hazelnuts (can toast prior to processing, I didn't)
    • 2 Tbsp. EVOO
    • 1/3 cup coconut milk
    • 5 Tbsp. cocoa powder
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (may need more)
    • 2 to 3 tsp. vanilla extract
    • 1 to 2 Tbsp. honey (may need more)
    • 1/4 tsp. sea salt

Directions:

    1. In a food processor, process nuts for 5 to 6 minutes until they turn into a creamy nut butter. During this time, stop to scrape the side of your food processor.
    2. Add oil and process for a minute or until smooth.
    3. Add milk, cocoa, sugar, vanilla, honey, and sea salt. Process for about 5 to 10 more minutes. You'll want to get it nice and smooth and also the right amount of sweet. I found that granulated sugar made it kind of gritty, so I started adding some honey to sweeten it up without that grittiness.
    4. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
