HOMEMADE NUTELLA
2 cups hazelnuts
⅓ cup sugar (or to taste)
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
⅛ teaspoon salt
Heat the oven to 375° F or 190ºC. Spread the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until they are fragrant.
Carefully put the hot hazelnuts in a mason jar with the lid on and shake. The papery skins will fall right off. Remove the skinless nuts and put them in a food processor or a high powered blender, re-shake the jar until the rest of the skins come off as well.
Grind the hazelnuts for about 5 minutes until it turns into creamy hazelnut butter.
Add the sugar, cacao powder, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt. Blend for another minute until all the ingredients are combined and the mixture is smooth.
Transfer to a mason jar. This recipe makes 2 cups. Store in the refrigerator for several weeks.
