Homemade Healthy Nutella

The recipe is simple. Only 6 ingredients. No artificial garbage or hydrogenated oils. Lightly roasted hazelnuts combined with sweet chocolate. And it actually tastes like I remember. Takes me back to long summer days in Finland before I had any responsibilities or worries.

THE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

2 cups hazelnuts
1/4 cup cacoa powder (like this) (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
1/2 cup full fat coconut milk (where to buy BPA free coconut milk)
4 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 pinches unrefined salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375’F. Place hazelnuts onto baking sheet and roast for 12-15 minutes until nuts are fragrant and slightly brown. Remove from oven.
To peel off skins, place roasted nuts into the fold of a kitchen towel and gently massage until most of skin comes off.
Place peeled hazelnuts into food processor and process until creamy smooth – about 8-10 minutes. Be sure to scrape sides a couple of times.
Add remaining ingredients and process again until smooth. This may take a couple of minutes. Adjust consistency with extra coconut milk if too thick.
Store in airtight glass container for about a week. Enjoy!
