Lots of people think the commercial chocolate and hazelnut spreads are essentially made with hazelnuts, milk and cocoa powder - all very appealing to mothers as an apparently healthy choice which most kids love. Actually the biggest ingredient in those spreads is sugar - over half a jar is sugar and just toast-sized serving of nutella contains 200 calories, and the sugar of five oreo cookies!!! This home-made version is dairy-free, the main ingredient is hazelnuts and it has much much less sugar because the natural sweetness of the nuts contribute to the sweetness of the spread.

Steps

10 mins

1

Lay the nuts out on a baking tray and roast in the oven preheated to 180º for 10 - 15 minutes. The skins will go black and look burnt, but it's ok - the nuts will be brown and the skins will be discarded
2

Easy trip for peeling hot hazelnuts. Take them out of the oven and empty the tray over a clean kitchen drying up cloth.
3

Close the cloth and roll vigorously like in the photo
4

When you open the cloth you'll see that most of the skin has been rubbed off
5

The roasted hazelnuts should look like this
6

Put the nuts and the oil into the food processor
7

Blitz for ten minutes, the nuts will look like this -->
8

Blitz for another 10 minutes top speed and you will get hazelnut cream (this is delicious as a dairy-free substitute for butter by the way)
9

Add the cocoa powder and icing sugar and mix
10

The chocolate spread will be a bit runnier than commercial ones. Pour it into a jar, seal and put the jar in the fridge. After a few hours it will be thicker.

Alicante, Spain

Born in the UK, I came to Spain after graduating many moons and meals ago, and I'm still here. For me cooking is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. My recipes tend to be quite quick and simple and (mostly!!) healthy too. Also quite seasonal - I prefer buying fresh local produce as much as possible. When I have time, I love spending a few hours cooking, filling my kitchen with delicious smells and great music and then hosting family and friends for long happy meals, laughs, conversation and chilled white wine. I'm a great believer in the power and value of home cooking for our own health, happiness and wellbeing and those of our loved ones and since I joined the Cookpad team 11 years ago I am committed to helping to make everyday cooking more fun for people all over the World.
