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:
- 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.
- Add oil and process for a minute or until smooth.
- 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.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
