Who doesn’t like Nutella?! That too Homemade Nutella with very simple and easily available ingredients. Homemade Nutella recipe with full video and step by step photos. Nutella is nothing but a chocolate flavored Hazelnut Spread that is popular spread that is loved by all ages. But the commercial version has lots of sugar, preservatives and other ingredients that are not healthy to take regularly. So I don’t buy them and make it at home fresh whenever needed. 

Homemade Nutella Recipe

Prep Time : 10-15 Minutes | Cook Time : Nil

Recipe Category : Condiments | Makes  8 oz

---

Ingredients

1. Roasted Hazelnuts 2 Cups
2. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder  2 Tbsp
3. Powdered Sugar   1/3 cup - 1/2 cup*
4. Vanilla Extract   1 tsp
5. Melted Coconut Oil   1-2 Tbsp

Notes:

I used store bought Roasted Hazelnut, if using Raw Hazelnut roast it in oven or stove top before using it in the recipe.

*I used 1/3 cup + 1.5 tsp Powdered Sugar that sweetness was ok for us. You can add less than1/4 cup for a dark chocolate nut butter version & up to 1/2 cup for a sweeter Nutella version. First try with 1/4 cup and increase according to your preference.

Adding Vanilla extract is optional as roasted hazelnut itself adds lovely flavor along with cocoa powder.

You can replace coconut oil with avocado oil or canola oil.

The whole grinding process took more than 12 minutes for me, as my processor was more than 8 years old took long time, but if using high efficient processors or blenders it gonna take 5-10 minutes or depending on the texture you prefer. I wanted it bit smooth so took long time. 

You can also use a pinch of salt, I usually add but this time forgot to add.

The Choco Nut Butter tastes best the next day, it takes time to get the flavors and taste blends well. But my kids love it right away :) 

Method

• It is good to use warm roasted hazelnut for easy grinding and also the nuts will naturally release oil.
• So I just heated the heavy bottom pan, add the store bought roasted nuts and leave in it for 2-3 minutes (turned off the stove). The nuts turned warm and leaves nice aroma.
• In a food processor, add the roasted warm nuts grind for 2 minutes, then scrap down the sides and continue grinding until the nuts starts leaving oil and turning to a nut butter consistency.
• Now add cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and grind until all combined and turned to smooth chocolate nut butter. 
• Lastly add 1-2 Tbsp of melted butter and grind for one more minute. Now you able to see a shiny smooth texture flavor choco nut butter. 
• That's it Tasty Homemade Nutella ready. Store it in an air tight glass container and this stays good for 2-3 weeks in room temperature and for more than a month in the refrigerator.
• But trust, this will not long more than week, kids will finish it soon, they love it with Rotis, Parathas too :)
