Ingredients

  • 200 g raw skinless hazelnuts
  • 30 g cocoa powder
  • 90 g icing sugar
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • Vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  • Dry roast the hazelnuts in a frypan over medium heat, stirring often, until they are golden and fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • While still warm, place the hazelnuts in a food processor and blend until crumbly. Keep processing until it becomes a smooth nut butter.
  • With the processor running on low, slowly add the oil to help smooth the mixture.
  • Add the cocoa powder, icing sugar, and a pinch of salt, then blend until everything is well mixed.
  • Store the Nutella in an airtight jar in the fridge. It will keep for several weeks and is great on toast or in baking.
