Nutella is getting a healthier makeover with this yummy recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 cup hazelnuts
- 3 ½ tablespoons 70% dark, unsweetened chocolate
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- ¼ cup raw cocoa powder
- ¼ cup raw honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking tray with paper, spread the hazelnuts out evenly, and roast for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. While hazelnuts are still warm, rub them up with a damp dishtowel or paper towel to remove some of the skins (they have a bitter taste).
- Add hazelnuts to a blender or food processor and blend until they form into a nut butter (stir in between).
- Create a double boiler in the stove by filling a saucepan ⅓ of the way with water. Bring to a boil and lower to a simmer. Take a smaller saucepan and place it inside the larger saucepan (if the water comes up too high fro the bottom pan, pour some out).
- Add chocolate, honey and coconut milk to a smaller saucepan and stir constantly until chocolate melts.
- Pour chocolate mixture into the blender with the hazelnut butter and raw cocoa powder and blend until combined. For a smoother “Nutella” continue to blend until desired consistency is achieved. Pour into a jar and seal with a lid.
Are you a Nutella addict? The stuff is like crack for me and I have trouble with it when it comes to portion control, so I’m super jazzed to try this recipe! —Jenn
