Ingredients
- 1 cup roasted hazelnuts
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sweetener (such as honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar)
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil (like sunflower, canola, or light olive oil)
Instructions
- Prepare Hazelnuts: If your hazelnuts are not roasted, roast them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, then let them cool. This enhances their flavor and makes the skins easier to remove.
- Blend Ingredients: Place the roasted hazelnuts, cocoa powder, sweetener, and oil into a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend continuously until the mixture becomes a smooth and creamy spread, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Consistency and Flavor: Taste the spread and adjust sweetness or cocoa level as preferred. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more oil to reach your desired consistency.
- Store Properly: Transfer your homemade hazelnut spread into an airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- You can use any sweetener of your choice, including sugar-free options for lower calories.
- For a smoother texture, peel the hazelnuts by rubbing them in a towel after roasting.
- The oil helps create a creamy texture but can be adjusted or omitted depending on preference.
- Store the spread in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before using for easier spreading.
