Description
This homemade Nutella recipe makes a rich, creamy chocolate hazelnut spread with hazelnuts, cocoa powder, vanilla, and your favorite sweetener. Easy to customize with dairy or plant-based milk, it’s delicious on toast, pancakes, fruit, and desserts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups hazelnuts (240g)
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup sweetener of choice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk (of choice or 2 tbsp oil, optional)
Instructions
- Add the hazelnuts to a food processor or high-speed blender. Process until they break down and gradually form a smooth, creamy paste. Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides.
- Add the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, sweetener of choice, and salt. Blend until everything is evenly combined and the mixture has a rich chocolate color.
- If using milk, gradually add the 1/2 cup while blending until the desired consistency is reached. Alternatively, use 2 tablespoons of oil instead of milk, or omit the optional liquid.
- Continue blending until the spread is creamy and evenly mixed, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Transfer the homemade Nutella to a clean airtight jar. Seal and refrigerate, especially if using milk.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetener according to your preferred sweetness.
- Milk is optional; you can use the suggested oil alternative or leave out the liquid.
- Blend the hazelnuts thoroughly for a smoother spread. Refrigerate the milk-based version and use clean utensils when serving.
